The vision for future mobility

At Transport for NSW, we are developing a world-class technology-enabled future mobility system across the state.

This system will be the foundation for sustainable and personalised transportation, as well as economic growth, in NSW. Our vision of transport as a technology business represents never-before-seen opportunities for entrepreneurs, innovation and investors. This includes a long-term vision that’s outlined in the Future Transport Technology Roadmap 2016.

With much already achieved since 2016, the vision will see 5 key strategies executed that will shape a cutting-edge customer-centric, and digitally-enabled transportation system in NSW.

These focus areas include:

  • Developing and connecting customers and services through real-time digital information
  • Transforming mass transit networks
  • Fostering, shared, demand-responsive services
  • Pursuing national standards for roads, infrastructure, systems and regulatory frameworks

Sitting in parallel with the Future Transport Technology Roadmap, Future Transport 2056 is a 40 year strategy, supported by plans for regional NSW and for Greater Sydney. It is the first transport plan in Australia to harness technology to improve customer and network outcomes, and it starts with a long term vision for our communities. For the first time, we are aligning how we plan the future of the transport network with how we interact with the community and create places by working closely with industry, the Greater Sydney Commission, Infrastructure NSW, the Department of Premier and Cabinet and the Department of Planning and Environment.

As a Government, we have generated an unprecedented $52.2 billion pipeline of transport infrastructure investment.

Already, over 700 projects have been identified, with 485 completed, 168 in progress and the remainder in the planning stages. Game-changing projects such as Australia’s first fully automated metro trains -Sydney Metro, as well as Sydney CBD & South-East Light Rail and WestConnex, as well as the Fixing Country Roads and Fixing Country Rail programs will form the foundation of a world-leading future mobility ecosystem in NSW.
