Women in Transport the focus of industry event

As a part of our ongoing efforts to support the invaluable role of women in the transport industry, Transport for NSW hosted a collaborative industry Women in Transport event.

This event brought together women and men from both the private and public sectors to strengthen women’s networks within the industry and achieve better gender balance at industry events.

The event theme The Future Is Now; focused on the opportunities presented by our changing working environment and how our Future Transport team have leveraged these circumstances to create flexible and adaptive plans for the future of our state.
