About ATRF

Australasian Transport Research Forum (ATRF) is a three day Forum hosted annually by each major city in Australia and New Zealand in succession.

Established in 1975, ATRF brings together Governments, Universities, research organisations and industry to increase the benefits to Australasian society from safe, efficient and effective transport in all its forms, by promoting innovation through applied research and the exchange of knowledge relating to all aspects of transport and its relationship with social, economic, environmental and land use/urban development issues. Papers are published on the ATRF website and many papers are also published in leading international academic journals. ATRF does not undertake the role of public advocate, lobbyist or activist.

Since 2016, ATRF has been incorporated under the ACT Incorporations Act 1991 as a “not for profit organisation” with steered by an Executive Committee voted by members. Membership of ATRF is free and is open to anyone who supports the objectives of ATRF Inc and who has an interest in transport.
