At the Department of Transport, we do more than help people get a driver's licence 🚗 or skipper's ticket. 🚤 – you may be surprised to learn about what else we do. At the heart of it, we help people participate in activities that enrich their lives, connect them with family and friends and support their community - and we do it in some pretty remote and spectacular parts of Western Australia. It's our people that make a difference, because we live and work in the same communities that stretch across all corners of this massive state. If this makes you more curious about DoT, then take a moment to view our new video and see how we deliver transport systems for Western Australia. #TransportWA #ThisIsDoT 📽️ The Department of Transport acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of the land and their connection to land, waters and community. We pay our respect to all members of Aboriginal communities and their cultures; and to Elders past and present.

Australia is driving into the future with automated vehicle technology and it’s important we have the right laws to keep AVs safe on our roads. Have your say by 11 June 👉 https://lnkd.in/gBs7K_rC #AVSafetyReforms #AutomatedVehicleSafety
Automated vehicles (AVs) have the potential to provide a range of benefits to road users and the community. These benefits include fewer crashes, reduced traffic congestion, saving on business and freight time costs, and reduction in fuel and carbon emissions. The introduction of this technology will impact everyone who interacts with Australian roads, not just those who use AVs. So, to help to realise these benefits we’re developing laws to ensure that AVs are introduced safely. We have partnered with the Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development, Communications and the Arts to launch a public consultation on AV safety reforms that will help inform the Australian Government’s development of a new Automated Vehicle Safety Law, as well as amendments to existing state and territory laws. Consultation closes 11 June 2024. To learn more or have your say, visit our website: https://lnkd.in/eNgN4sBT #automatedvehicles
