2024 Program

Invitation from the Chair

I am pleased to inform you that Monash University, in collaboration with the Victorian Department of Transport and Planning, is hosting the 2024 ATRF (Australasian Transport Research Forum) Conference. The event will be held in Melbourne CBD from Tuesday, November 26th to Friday, November 29th at Monash College. On behalf of the Local Organising Committee, I am delighted to invite you to share this journey with us.

ATRF has become a premier Transport Research Conference in Australasia that seeks to maintain open dialogue among academia, consultancy, industry, and government, stimulating debate and forward-looking considerations of transport research across a wide range of subject areas.

Over three days, the ATRF will attract more than 100 papers and approximately 200 attendees from a wide range of professions including engineers, planners, economists, social scientists and transport operators and include senior managers, policy makers, researchers and students.

The longevity of our Conference and its attendance demonstrates its success in delivering these objectives. This is an exciting opportunity with many different options to participate. If this opportunity is of interest to you, we would welcome the opportunity to take you through the sponsor registration process.

We invite you to share in this journey with us and look forward to our continued partnership.
