Development of the new Perth Transport Model (PTM) is underway.
A transport model is a tool for understanding and assessing the likely impacts of changes in the drivers of transport, such as transport supply, demographics, or land use.
Transport modelling can help with decision-making about the future development and management of urban transport and land use systems.
There are currently two transport models used by the Western Australian Government:
- Tour-Based Strategic Transport Evaluation Model (TB-STEM), managed by Department of Transport and Major Infrastructure
- Regional Operations Model 24 Hours (ROM24), managed by Main Roads.
The new PTM will supersede both TB-STEM and ROM24, to become the single transport model used by the Department of Transport and Major Infrastructure, Main Roads, and the Public Transport Authority.
Moving to a single transport model will help ensure alignment and consistency across transport planning and infrastructure project decision-making.
