Current collaboration agreement between UITP and UITP Australia New Zealand to end

The current collaboration agreement between UITP and UITP Australia New Zealand (UITPANZ) is set to end on 30 June 2022. UITPANZ will transition into a new, stand alone association with a new name that will focus on the unique challenges facing the public transport sector in Australia and New Zealand.

Both associations will continue to work together in advancing public transport and sustainable mobility through joint projects.

The new public transport association for Australia and New Zealand will continue to deliver its services including events, networking, policy development and thought leadership in the region. This step allows the association to focus solely on understanding and responding to the local needs of its members.

UITP meanwhile, will continue to bring together all public transport and urban mobility stakeholders from across the globe. This will mean that as of 1 July 2022, UITP will continue its work in Australia and New Zealand to promote sustainable transport with its membership by releasing publications and statistics, organising events, leading research projects and delivering training programmes.

In February 2022, more details will be provided on the options available for future membership of both the International Association of Public Transport (UITP) and the new public transport association for Australia and New Zealand.

We look forward to continuing our cooperation as we work to achieve our common goal of creating sustainable mobility for all.
