Transport’s greenhouse gas emissions are Australia’s third largest and fastest growing. Without effective intervention the sector is projected to be the nation’s largest emitter by 2030. It is time for transformative change in how we move Australia’s people and goods.

United by a shared commitment, the Public Transport Association Australia New Zealand, Roads Australia and the Australasian Railway Association came together with support from Arup to host a National Decarbonisation Transport Summit in Canberra on 26 June 2024.

This report summarises outcomes from the Summit, identifying immediate measures government should take in relation to overall transport planning and funding, and priorities that the industry should lead and act upon.
