Strategic plan

The Australian Trucking Association will continue to focus on increasing the industry’s safety, professionalism and viability under its 2013-2015 strategic plan, which was released on 10 April 2013.

The actions set out in plan aim to increase the industry’s safety, with work on the heavy vehicle national laws, best practice standards through TruckSafe and a focus on the Road Ahead to communicate the ATA’s message of sharing the road safely.

The plan also aims to promote the highest level of professionalism across the industry, with the National Trucking Industry Awards rewarding excellence and best practice.

The plan sets out how the ATA will work to improve the industry’s viability, with strong advocacy for a fair and effective road charging and investment system and a commitment to campaign against the Australian Government’s plan to extend the carbon tax to trucking from 1 July 2014.

The plan is reviewed every year.
