Smart Transport Advisory Committee
The Smart Transport Advisory Committee is established to provide guidance on the implementation of a sustainable transportation hierarchy that enhances the health, wellbeing and liveability of the Ku-ring-gai community while contributing to Council’s net zero emissions target.
The Committee’s focus will include guiding Council on walking and cycling infrastructure, encouraging greater use of public transport, expanding access to car-sharing services as a sustainable alternative to car ownership and supporting the shift to electric vehicles. It includes Councillors, representatives from active transport advocacy groups and community representatives with expertise or interest in sustainable transport, climate policy, or urban planning or related fields.
The Committee will:
- Promote and support a transportation hierarchy that prioritises walking, cycling and other micromobility devices, public transport, car-sharing schemes and electric vehicle (EV) transition.
- Provide recommendations on integrating sustainable mobility choices into Council policies to create a more efficient, low-emission transport system.
- Encourage active transport options that foster healthier, more ecologically sustainable communities.
- Ensure that public domain initiatives are aligned with smart transport goals and contribute to more sustainable and accessible transportation networks.
Council committees are guided by the Council Advisory and Reference Committee Guidelines(PDF, 470KB).
