Transport productivity and the national economy

Transport does much more than get us from A to B. It connects businesses with markets, people with jobs and services, and communities with opportunity.

NTRO Edge: Transport: The Economic Enabler brought these connections into focus, asking how transport can support stronger productivity and prosperity. From freight performance and workforce skills to safety, investment and changing travel needs, the discussion highlighted just how closely transport decisions are tied to economic outcomes.

There isn't one simple fix. But there is real value in getting government, industry and researchers in the same room to challenge assumptions and look at what is working.

The conversation doesn't stop at Edge. At the NTRO International Conference 2027, we'll take on more of the questions shaping the future of Australia's transport system, with practical solutions firmly on the agenda.
