Dear Esteemed Participants,

On behalf of the local organizing committee, it is my great pleasure to extend a warm welcome to all attendees of the Australasian Transport Research Forum (ATRF) 2024.

“Stronger Together: Integrating Land Use and Sustainable Transport”

I am particularly excited that this year’s conference focuses on transport and planning integration. I am keen to be witnessing the convergence of brilliant minds, innovative ideas, and transformative research on this theme. Our forum serves as a vital platform for scholars, practitioners, policymakers, and industry experts to engage in fruitful discussions, share cutting-edge findings, and collectively address the challenges and opportunities shaping the future of transport and cities in Australasia and beyond.

Over the course of the conference, you will have the opportunity to explore a diverse array of topics, ranging from sustainable mobility and intelligent transportation systems to infrastructure development and urban planning. Through keynote speeches, panel sessions, workshops, debates and networking opportunities, we aim to foster interdisciplinary collaboration and inspire new approaches to addressing the complex challenges facing our cities and regions.

I encourage you to actively participate, exchange insights, and forge meaningful connections that will contribute to advancing knowledge and driving positive change in the realm of transport and planning.

Once again, welcome to ATRF 2024. Together, let us harness the power of integrated transport and planning to create vibrant, and livable communities for all.
