32、Briggs(M) W: Welcome to our show. Have you heard the saying that driving is the most dangerous thing that most of us will do in our lives? So what can be done to make it safer? I think we all know an intersection or a stretch of road that is dangerous and needs to be fixed. Well, theres some federal
33、 money available through the Black Spot funding program. Jamie Briggs is an MP: hes also the Assistant Minister for Infrastructure and Regional Development. Welcome, Jamie. M: Thanks. New South Wales has appointed John Cobb as the chair of the Black Spot consultative panel, and many of your listener
34、s know John is a very experienced parliamentarian.(1)And, John knows transport needs very well in New South Wales, and he brings a level of experience to the Black Spot committee, which will ensure we get the best value of money that we want, but also improve our productive capacity on important met
35、ro but also, importantly, regional roads. W: Today were broadcasting not just to the Riverina, but to the southwest and the southeast of the state. People in the regions will know these roads, and know that there are issues with some of them, what can they do if theres a bad stretch of road? The cou
36、ncil knows about it, but what can they do? M: Well, look, in respect to this program, the Federal Government runs the Black Spot Program. Its a $60 million program a year, spread across the states. Obviously, New South Wales gets a good share of that.(2)What people can do with their local government
37、 particularly is to identify black spots which have had a crash history, where there have been incidents over the last two or three years. They can identify those black spots to the committee, they dont need all that much information, and they can fill it out themselves. The local government body ge
38、ts used to getting the best outcome, and then the committee makes the considerations, what are the best value projects. Projects can be up to $2 million in federal contribution. The state and local government can put in more, of course. Black spots usually mean that were not getting the best value,
39、particularly in regional areas, that we can get from the roads. So this program can really make a big difference in that respect. W: And the funding was specifically set up, but if there was an intersection or a stretch of road, with a crash history, that it would be addressed? M: Well, thats right,
40、 and it was a funding program set up initially by the Howard Government, and has continued since that time, and its got a great track record. Its got a terrific economic outcome, economic history, and its also got a really important contribution to our safety performance of many of our metro and reg
41、ional roads.

And, as economic activity increases in our region, we need to fix those to ensure we get the best val
42、ue. W: Is that part of the difficulty too, that the roads and bridges werent designed for some semi-trailers, let alone B-doubles? M: Well, indeed, in respect of bridges, during the campaign, the Coalition announced a program specifically to deal with bridges, and thatll be something that the Deputy
43、 Prime Minister Warren Truss will be shortly talking more about. We will have a specific bridge program to upgrade bridges in regional areas. And, your listeners in New South Wales know that those bridges which were, as you say, built many years ago, are now carrying significant loads, which we want
44、 them to carry. W: Well, what do you want our regions to do? M: We want our regions to do better, we want our regions to be sending more of our high quality primary produce to ports to get onto ships, to export overseas, and to do that we need the most effective road network.(4 - 1)And the Australia
45、n Governments committing to spending significant amounts to upgrade major roads, in Sydney, for instance, were committing $1.5 billion, as part of the WestConnex proposal, which has an impact on our freight capacity, of course, getting our stuff to airports and to ports.(3)But this program, while it
46、s small, makes a significant contribution to our regional development because it ensures we get productive capacity on many roads which are suffering from substandard infrastructure. And, what Ive asked John Cobb to do is to lead this committee and get the best value for the money that we allocate e
47、ach year. W: Should the business sector, businesses that set up in certain areas be asked to help fund roads?

48、ct private sector investment. Sometimes thats through pricing.(4 - 2)The private sector is involved in the WestConnex project, and is incentivized to be involved.
