Urban Rail 2010

Australia’s urban transport challenges are significant. A rapidly expanding population coupled with a sometimes haphazard transport planning agenda in our capital cities has left many high density population areas not served by urban rail networks.

The ARA’s 2nd annual Urban Rail conference is designed to provide you with clear insights into what is needed to succeed:

• Planning for sustainable urban transport networks
• Analysing the environmental impact of urban rail
• Examining and integrating existing services with active transport initiatives
• Understanding the key elements to delivering exceptional customer service
• Utilising high speed rail to connect urban centres
• Rail project financing – securing the capital for key urban rail projects

This meeting is aimed at bringing together the key stakeholders involved in creating long term integrated transport plans. Join them over the two days to help solidify plans for future development.
