1.1 Performance of Transport Administrations

The arrival of the 4th Industrial Revolution and the rapid development and fusion of multiple disruptive and innovative technologies are changing the behaviour and the expectations of customers and stakeholders all over the world. At the same time demographic, economic, development, environmental, technological, and other trends are changing the demand for moving people and freight; the mobility options available to serve our customers; and the capacity of Transport Administrations to carry out their mission.

During the 2020-2023 Cycle, PIARC’s Technical Committee (TC) 1.1 "Performance of Transport Administrations" explored topics on Customer Experience, Public Value Creation, Emerging and Disruptive Technologies, Workforce, and issues on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusiveness. One of the common threads identified among these topics was how Road and Transport Agencies will need to evolve in the future to address the challenges brought forward by the many externalities. (extract from the Strategic Plan)
