Federal Infrastructure and Transport Minister Anthony Albanese has stated that an Australia-wide electronic freeway management system has the potential to greatly reduce congestion and save Australian families and businesses more than $500 million a year.
Albanese said as much as he announced the $21 million contract to deliver an Intelligent Transport System (ITS) and communications infrastructure to the Westgate Freeway Managed Motorway Project in Victoria under the National Smart Managed Motorways Program.
