The Australian Transport Assessment and Planning (ATAP) Guidelines (the Guidelines) provide a comprehensive framework for planning, assessing and developing transport systems and related initiatives.
The Guidelines are a key component of the processes that seek to ensure proposals to improve transport systems in Australia achieve jurisdictional objectives, provide maximum net benefit to the community and represent value for money. Users of the Guidelines include government departments and agencies, private firms, individuals, industry bodies and consultants.
The Guidelines are published by the Transport and Infrastructure Council.
The work to maintain and develop the Guidelines is coordinated by the ATAP Steering Committee (ATAP SC), a committee of expert representatives from each Australian jurisdiction, Austroads, Infrastructure Australia, and the New Zealand Government.
