Extension to drive in Transot lanes for EV owners

Hi All,

In NSW till 31st Oct 2022, EV owners were allowed to use the Transit lanes for 1 year. 

Did many members use this opportunity, and will the NSW RTA think of re-extending this or making it a permanent feature.

Look forward to your views and if NRMA could support in pushing it with the relevant RTA authorities to re-establish this feature for EV owners.

Many thanks.

Hello @Neville welcome to the EV community. The good news is that an announcement was made last month by the NSW Govt, with transit lane concessions to continue for another 12 months for EV owners. 

We do support initiatives by NSW Government’s sweeping tax reforms and initiatives aimed at making it cheaper and easier to purchase and own an electric vehicle (EV) in NSW.

Hi All,

As driving in Transit lanes comes to an end this month, I wonder if the NSW Govt, are thinking of extending it into 2024 as well.

I suggest the energy minister 

would nrma contribute to the lobby?

There has been an update on this and it has so far been gazetted by the minister to allow full EV only cars to drive in NSW transit lanes till June 2025, or revoked earlier.

I was using this most days up until it ended in October.   Really hoping it gets extended again.
