Transport Insights

Transport Insights analyses issues affecting Perth's urban transport system.

Transport insights allow us to identify, forecast and plan for the changing transport needs of the Western Australian community. By using data to develop strategic, evidence-based insights, and sharing practical advice, we can establish a view of emerging trends, challenges and opportunities impacting WA’s transport system. Thereafter, we can inform solutions to support a thriving, sustainable and robust network that will benefit the community.

The vision of DoT’s Transport Insights branch is to empower a thriving community through better data, evaluation, monitoring and solutions.
