CALL FOR ABSTRACTS

The call for abstracts for the 2025 AITPM National Transport Conference are now open.

This year’s theme, Movement for Thriving Communities, will explore the intersection of transport, growth, and sustainability, focusing on how we can build and enhance liveable communities.

We invite professionals from across the transport industry to submit abstracts for presentations, workshops, or interactive sessions that address critical issues, innovations, and case studies in urban and regional transport planning, mobility, infrastructure, policy, and technology.
