Our Programs

Austroads uses a program management approach to deliver the Strategic Plan 2020-2024.

Austroads structures its work across the following programs and strategic priorities:

Transport Infrastructure | Improve the management and performance of transport infrastructure by helping asset managers deliver an affordable and sustainable level of service appropriate for road users and the community.

Transport Network Operations | Improve mobility for all users within the transport system.

Road Safety and Design | Improve the safety of the road network.

Vehicles and Technology | Optimise the societal benefits by identifying and preparing for mobility technologies that could have a significant impact on transport agency businesses and their customers.

Environment and Sustainability |  Ensure environment and sustainability outcomes are at the heart of transport decision-making.

NEVDIS | Enabling secure licence and vehicle information exchange across state borders.

The Programs are directed by a Program Manager. The Manager is responsible for developing and managing an annual work program and reporting to the Board. The Manager is assisted by a Program Coordinator.

The staff of member organisations play an integral role in Austroads operations. This encourages a collegiate, collaborative approach and facilitates learning, development, sharing and a high level of consistency across jurisdictions.

The Programs rely on task forces of experts from member organisations to deliver the work program. Task forces identify areas of interest and develop project proposals, oversee projects, promote the dissemination of results and provide a forum for the exchange of information between Austroads’ member and related organisations.

The Programs are also assisted by specialist working groups and committees.
