Transport
Note: department focus areas are subject to change based on NSW Government priorities and responses to evolving customer needs.
We deliver excellent public transport services that support and grow our communities, lead strong economic growth and improve the quality of life across NSW
Our long-term vision on how we see Transport for NSW transforming NSW:
- connect the whole lives of our customers, where commuters love public transport and it’s their preferred choice in Greater Sydney, and a real option in our regions
- make communities across NSW great places to live, work and visit. Regional customers can use public transport to engage with local communities and their nearest regional hub.
- lead economic growth and improve quality of life for the people of NSW, through a 30 minute city and regional public transport day return.
- make Transport the best place to work in Australia, and is a leader in evolving its people and capability to respond to new technology and ways of working.
