Maribyrnong Truck Action Group

MTAG www.mtag.org.au was formed in late 2005 out of concern about the negative effects of the growing number of trucks using residential streets in the inner west Melbourne municipality of Maribynong, which includes the suburbs of Footscray and Yarraville. Its aim is to pressure Government to put some real solutions on the table by raising community awareness of the issues faced by Maribyrnong residents in the and by providing a focus for the considerable community anger that already exists in relation to truck traffic. MTAG is not politically aligned; its members represent a spectrum of political views but share a conviction that it is time something is done to address excessive levels truck traffic and to get it off our streets (see MTAG charter).Since its formation MTAG has had a significant impact on raising the profile of the issue of excessive truck traffic and the threat it poses to the health and safety of residents of inner West. www.mtag.org.au
