CEO's Overview

CEO's overview

As our city and state continue to grow, safe and reliable public transport services are more important than ever.

The vision for Perth is for public transport to become the preferred travel option to Perth’s CBD, strategic centres and throughout the metropolitan area. In order to make this happen, the State Government is focused on managing the passenger network to ensure the greatest efficiencies are achieved in terms of capacity and connectivity. Also, significant funding has been allocated to expand the network. This investment includes expansion of the train and bus fleets and services.

The Perth City Link project continues on time and on budget with completion expected in mid-2016. The temporary bus stations on Roe and Wellington streets began operating successfully this year, and the second entry to the new Perth Busport was recently confirmed.

CEO's Overview

When complete in 2020, the landmark Forrestfield-Airport Link will open up the city to the eastern suburbs for the first time.

Most of the 8.5km rail line will be tunnelled to minimise impact on the existing land and road network.

These projects are transforming Perth and will ensure a world-class transport system for many generations to come.

Perth’s population is growing at almost three per cent annually, about twice the national average. The impact on the transport network can be seen in peak periods every day of the week.

There is no single solution to congestion. However, the PTA, along with the Department of Transport and Main Roads, is developing a suite of responses to the issue.

Furthermore, it is clear the community demands more accurate and reliable traffic and traveller information, as well as an efficient and sustainable network.

Innovative tools, such as SmartRider, social media, the Transperth App, the bus tracking trial and new SmartParker system all play a role in delivering real- time services to Perth road users.

These forward-thinking initiatives have changed the way we do business and demonstrate how the PTA meets challenges and delivers excellent customer service.
