New South Wales is looking for smarter systems to manage transport demand

 

The Australian regional government of New South Wales today called on "the world's brightest tech minds" to produce new ideas to "transform transport for the better".

The NSW Government will host 'Future Transport,' a 12-month programme to uncover trends and technologies that aims to revolutionise the way that government and passengers plan, build and use transport. 'Future Transport' will start with a two-day summit in April, to bring together "IT specialists, innovators, enterpreneurs, futurists, transport leaders and academics".

Transport minister Andrew Constance commented: "Whilst we've made good progress with open data, collaboration with developers, apps, and better regulation, it's no secret NSW has lagged behind the rest of the world and I am determined to turn that around. The state's population is going to increase by about two million people by 2031, so as well as building new infrastructure, we need to look at smarter systems to cope with demand."
