ARA Sustainability in Transport

27 – 28 June 2012 — Hilton on the Park, Melbourne

Australia is experiencing rapid demographic and environmental changes, and it is clear that transport will play a pivotal role in enabling sustainable growth in a changing climate.

Rail can be a central driver to reduce transport carbon emissions, improve Australia’s energy security and help ease urban congestion. One passenger train can remove up to 500 cars off the road, while a freight train can remove up to 150 trucks.

The Australian Railway Association Sustainability in Transport conference will examine what is needed to successfully integrate sustainability goals into everyday business practices, transport operations and project delivery. The event will feature a variety of case study presentations that will enable delegates to develop and implement sustainability strategies that will thrive long into the future.

It boasts an outstanding speaker faculty. Click here to see the full agenda.
