ABOUT

UITP Australia New Zealand (UITPANZ) is proud to present its new Public Transport Australia New Zealand Conference and Gala Dinner, in partnership with Gold Sponsor Transport for NSW, Silver Sponsors Keolis Downer and L.E.K. Consulting and Gala Dinner Sponsor Transit Systems.

The theme for 2022 will be The Great Recovery.

Join us in person in Sydney on 12 May for our transport leadership conference on the key trends that are defining the public transport industry as we work to recover from the Covid pandemic.

Covid has monumentally shifted the way people work, live and play. Working from home patterns are here to stay and the great migration is evident in the sea change and the tree change movement. Public transport ridership has taken a hit around the world with a significant mode shift to private vehicle use.

We can avoid a car-led recovery. The Public Transport Australia New Zealand Conference will explore ways to rethink assumptions, reshape landscapes and adapt mobility services to move toward seamless end-to-end journeys.

After the conference, join the Gala Dinner at Doltone House where you’ll get to network with key stakeholders in Australia and New Zealand’s public transport sector.
