Ministers’ Foreword

Our customers in the cities and communities that we serve are embracing emerging technologies in every facet of their lives, and in turn, their expectations for transport services are evolving.

At the same time we are seeing a significant level of advancement in mobility technologies, such as automated and electric vehicles and drones.

We are committed to bold, smart responses to these emerging technologies that are shaping the future of transport. We recognise the need to understand how these technologies can operate safely and then hand over the reins to industry so that innovation can thrive. These are the kind of partnerships we seek moving forward; where government works seamlessly with experts from industry, academia and startups. 

The purpose of the NSW Future Mobility Prospectus is to provide a call to action to industry, startups and research partners to join us in shaping the technology-driven mobility revolution for our customers.

We have already achieved a lot through partnering with universities, global technology companies, startups, industry and local governments. Recent success stories include:

• Delivering three highly automated shuttle trials through Transport for NSW’s Smart Innovation Centre.
• Delivering 13 On Demand public transport trials across Sydney as well as eight regional trials.
• Servicing over 2 billion API hits from consumer applications via the Open Data Hub.
• Creating a cutting-edge Transport Digital Accelerator at the Sydney Startup Hub.

NSW is in a great position to be the leading jurisdiction in Australia when it comes to transport technology. We are outshining many national economies in our region, rank highly in research and development investment and continue to attract strong venture capital.

We want to collaborate and partner with the brightest minds across the country and world to make NSW a global leader in world-class mobility across our cities and regions.
