The Department of Transport

PPI provides strategic transport policy, integrated transport planning solutions and coordinated investment decisions in collaboration with key stakeholders, to assist in the development of a safe and sustainable transport system for the movement of people and freight.
Transport Services leads and manages the State-wide delivery of a number of specialist transport services, including driver and vehicle services, coastal infrastructure and marine safety, while also regulating Western Australia's on-demand transport industry.
The core functions of each directorate that make up these divisions are outlined in the Organisational Chart.

Changes to the Department
