Business survey 2018 results

At the end of 2018, we sent out our annual Business survey (this was the 11th edition) to our base and received 770 responses from business members.

By surveying our members, we learn what's impacting their businesses and advocate on their behalf to improve delays and road congestion. Since 2017's findings, we've lobbied for projects that we believe will help reduce congestion in Sydney, including WestConnex, NorthConnex and improvements to the Spit Bridge Tunnel and Western Harbour Tunnel.

NRMA Chief Customer Officer Emma Harrington said tackling congestion was a strategic priority for the NRMA and would strengthen the economy, allow businesses to grow and get people home on time.

"Addressing mobility and congestion in a nation as urbanised as Australia is paramount and nowhere is that playing out more than in Sydney in 2018," Ms. Harrington said.

"There is more transport infrastructure being built in Sydney today than at any time in our city's history and it is clear from our annual Business survey that the community places equal weight in roads and public transport infrastructure when it comes to getting around.

"The city desperately needs it - our NRMA business members are telling us that congestion is costing them money and restricting growth. In addition to the vital projects being built in Sydney today, the NRMA believes we need to be innovative and smart about how we keep this city moving. That's why we launched our own plan to get people from Sydney Olympic Park to the CBD in less than 30 minutes using fast ferries."
