The journey to become the National Transport Research Organisation (NTRO) has been 62 years in the making. From the inception of the Australian Road Research Board (ARRB) in 1960 to serve its Main Roads Agency members, the mission to provide research excellence and sound technical support to advance knowledge and deliver best value for money solutions remains at the core of the emerged entity, the NTRO.
Driven by values of Collaboration, Transformation, Energy and Passion and Integrity, the NTRO will work with its Transport Agency members across Australia and New Zealand in partnership with industry to shape the transport future.
The confluence of transport, energy and technology will fundamentally bring change to the sector and enable mobility and freight tasks that are new, different and innovative. The challenges that the NTRO will be seeking to develop solutions for are inherently new and driven by many factors external to traditional transport thinking. Working across Road, Rail, Ports and Airports, the NTRO staff will truly drive mode-agnostic solutions for the future.
The NTRO Journal will be the source of information, insights and news about advancements in the transport field. The Journal will showcase the work of many professionals from across Australia, New Zealand and the world, and will become the go-to place for access to published materials that showcase the creative new knowledge that has been developed to support the fundamental changes that are emerging in the transport sector.
