The party voted to support the development of "a comprehensive plan for the provision of reliable and accessible public transport" that included free concession fares and new transport options to help concession holders "access jobs and lead full lives".

The Labor conference did not discuss the cost of free concession fares but it would add to the $63.2 million the government plans to spend on public and school bus services in 2019-20.

Tasmanian Young Labor president Benjamin Dudman said the youth wing of the party had brought the policy to conference because "we are the ones that are stuck on the buses for hours, trying to get to school, trying to get to university".

"We need free public transport for concession holders, there delegates, and we need to roll out new transport options, new ideas and this is what we're here for," he said.

"We're the party of new ideas, we're the party of fresh thinking, we're the party that are going to put Tasmanians first and ensure that we have provisions so that our roads are not like they are now, congested. You're going along for miles and getting absolutely nowhere."

Mr Dudman followed his explanation of the policy with a blistering attack on health minister turned Minister for Infrastructure and Transport, Michael Ferguson.

"Where is our infrastructure minister? Who is it? Is it Ferguson? It is Ferguson, well there you go. F--- the health system and he'll f--- up the roads too," Mr Dudman said as the conference burst into laughter and applause.

"How useless is that man? Where is he? what is he doing?"

Mr Ferguson has been contacted for comment about the discussion at the Labor conference.

He released a statement on Saturday morning highlighting the government's transport initiatives in greater Hobart, including a dedicated transit lane on the Southern Outlet and new tow trucks to clear incidents quicker.

Mr Ferguson said the government was "committed to investing in congestion-busting infrastructure".

"Through the 2019-20 State Budget, we are investing $1.6 billion into roads and bridges, ensuring Tasmanians are able to get to where they need to go, when they need to be there," he said.

The Labor conference also committed to investigating the establishment of a commercial airport on the West Coast and demanded the government "use whatever means necessary to require Hobart and Launceston airports to provide affordable parking for Tasmanian residents".
