Research Hub

 

About Us

The Universities and Research Team is a multi-disciplinary team that leads academic collaboration and engagement for the Transport cluster to deliver research, evaluation and insights to advance Transport for NSW’s (TfNSW) strategic objectives. 

The Research Hub was launched in 2018 to communicate TfNSW's research outcomes and serves as a platform for engagement and knowledge translation with the community.

Our Purpose

Managed by the Universities and Research Team, the Research Hub supports TfNSW in becoming a world leading government agency by advancing knowledge, evidence and insights through academic research partnerships, projects, collaborations and evaluation.

Our Aim

Deliver impactful and relevant academic research that informs TfNSW's strategic priorities and has practical application in new technologies and innovative solutions in NSW. 

Our Research Themes are closely aligned with TfNSW's broader goals and vision, outlined in the Future Transport Strategy. This forms the cornerstone for all engagement with researchers from academia, government and other partnerships.
