Talking Transport x Geoff Allan | Episode 9

Australia and New Zealand share more than a border on a map when it comes to roads. They share standards, licensing systems, safety data and a workforce under pressure. On Talking Transport, Jacquelene sits down with Dr Geoff Allan, Chief Executive of Austroads, the association of Australian and New Zealand road transport and traffic agencies, for a conversation about the machinery that keeps freight and people moving across jurisdictions that each write their own rules. Geoff brings a rare vantage point to the discussion. Before joining Austroads he spent close to six years as Chief Operating Officer at the National Transport Commission, and his career spans policy, regulation and operational leadership across government. He talks about the work of building national consistency in technical specifications, traffic management and road asset practice, the shift toward digital identity and licensing, and the skills shortages that will shape the road and transport sector over the coming decade. For anyone working in freight, logistics, infrastructure or transport policy, this is a look at the reform agenda sitting underneath the network you use every day. #TalkingTransport #ImportExportTV #Austroads #RoadTransport #Logistics #SupplyChain #Freight #Infrastructure #TransportPolicy #RoadSafety #AustralianTrade #Trucking
