Low carbon Transport on the move Conference Objectives:

- Promote a common understanding between the US and Australia of sustainable transport

- Bring into focus the technologies and policies required to support and enhance a sustainable transport system in each country

- Find new opportunities for trans-Pacific and business partnerships  

- Enhance our perspective of how our two countries can work together to make the world a better place.

KEY CONCLUSIONS 

1. Sustainable transport in any country will be fundamentally embedded in international innovation systems and markets

2. A sustainable transport system must be underpinned by sustainable energy sources

3. All benefits of renewable energy for transport must be monetized so that low carbon solutions can compete in the market and reach their full potential

4. Digital infrastructure will have a pervasive and profound effect on the transport, including physical transport infrastructure, in the years to come

5. The clean energy revolution represents the next long-wave economic cycle in energy. It provides a tremendous opportunity for business, for energy security and for our collective solutions to global warming

6. Governments, businesses and communities must work together to maximise the benefits of this clean energy revolution for their own transport system, economy and society

7. Rapidly advancing technologies and systems mean that government transport policies can no longer be compartmentalized but must be developed on a whole-of-government, system-wide basis
