Our priorities

Towards zero trauma

Aspire to eliminate trauma across the entire NSW transport network and ensure the safety and peace of mind of communities across NSW.

Restore reliability and build resilience

Enhance transport access and connectivity by minimising disruptions, restoring reliability, ensuring safety and strengthening the resilience of our networks to keep our communities and supply chains moving.

Transition to net zero emissions

Reduce emissions of NSW’s transport sector to transition to a net zero future to combat climate change. 

Reduce transport disadvantage

Connect all people in NSW to the jobs and health, education, cultural and recreational services they need to prosper, regardless of where they live and their ability to pay. 

Reimagine road space to drive mode shift

Accommodate the travel demands of a growing population, and support sustainability goals without sacrificing quality of life and health outcomes.

Enable whole-of-government outcomes

Work collaboratively with our cross-agency partners to support the Government’s key priorities, including the delivery of more housing, energy transition and Closing the Gap.


The Transport Outcomes

Our strategies and plans are informed by the four Transport Outcomes:

  • Connecting people safely and reliably
  • Communities and places are sustainable, healthy and resilient
  • Enabling a prosperous and inclusive NSW
  • Thriving people doing meaningful work.

These describe the value we are seeking to achieve for customers, communities, the people of NSW and the people of Transport. They encourage us to focus on the role we play and how it contributes to our society and wellbeing. 


Aboriginal Outcomes

Aligned with the four Transport Outcomes, a set of Aboriginal Outcomes were developed to focus Transport on delivering the highest value activities for Aboriginal communities. They articulate what each outcome means for Aboriginal people, communities and Country.

  • Aboriginal people are connected safely to the economy and socially, through transport solutions.
  • Our community and Country is healthy and strong through transport planning and placemaking.
  • Aboriginal economic independence is supported by Transport work.
  • Transport drives transformational action to deliver systemic change.
