Industry Vision To Support Government and Industry Collaboration

To begin the year, ITS Australia is pleased to publish our Industry Vision for Safe Sustainable Transport Through Technology. This important new publication outlines key issues and opportunities that we, as the peak national body for ITS in Australia, believe can advance transport technology and improve outcomes for all Australians.

In the paper, we call for enhanced federal government leadership, increased coordination between the federal and state/territory governments and stronger partnerships with industry. Priority initiatives that require enhanced government support include:

• Building trusted national data sets for high-impact use cases, such as speed limits and road works.
• Deploying long-range communications for road safety data.
• Agreeing on first-priority operational domains for automated vehicles, focusing on public transport and freight.
• Reducing emissions by optimising existing transport assets.

We encourage you to take the time to read the paper and discuss it with your colleagues. We look forward to facilitating important discussions between industry and government throughout 2025 with a view to speeding up the deployment of transport technology that can deliver safety, efficiency and sustainability benefits both now and into the future.
