Hilary Harper: why a traffic reporter rides to work
Hilary Harper, 774 Traffic Reporter and producer on Red Symon’s Breakfast program gives some insights into the world behind the mike and explains that `some are born to traffic reporting and others have it thrust upon them’. Hilary has taken the opportunity to make her segment cater to the needs of all travellers - whether they're commuting or just getting around, on public transport, motorised vehicles, bikes or on foot.
Tony Barton: new evidence of commuter cycling numbers
VicRoads’ Manager of Bicycle Programs, Tony Barton, unveils the results of new data provided by underground counters on bike paths around Melbourne. Results show that some of the main commuter paths carry around 4000 cyclists a day, debunking the myth that bike paths are only for Sunday riders.
