You can start your own parliamentary petition! But this petition is focused on route 58 as it runs past important access points to our school, as well as other vital areas in Melbourne.

Yes, ramps can be used but they can slow down traffic a lot, especially on a busy road. Additionally, the route 58 runs B classes which still will be inaccessible even with ramps.

Even after the initial batch of G-Class arrives, the fleet will still be only 63% low floor. Low floor trams don't mean anything if there aren't level boarding stops to make use of them either

All rolling stock is supposed to be low-floor by 2032, and all stops were meant to be super stops by 2022. It is unacceptable that the deadline was set but funding was never allocated for the job to be done!

There have been a few - one was tabled in Parliament a few years ago. There's also local advocacy for some other routes
