Our organisation
Our role is to plan, build, maintain, and operate Western Australia's state road network, one of the largest geographically spread road networks in the world. We ensure that our roads and services meet the needs of our community, industry and businesses as part of an integrated transport system.

Our Strategy: Keeping WA Moving
Advances in technology and new innovations are without a doubt going to change how we deliver our services and create new and different expectations from our customers. However we must continue to strategically maintain our State’s largest asset, its road network, to improve safety and efficiency. Our work makes an important contribution to creating new jobs and helping to grow our economy.
Our strategic direction - Keeping WA Moving - will guide us through this rapidly changing environment.
Five strategic areas of focus form the backbone of Keeping WA Moving, which are customers, movement, sustainability, safety and capability. Delivering outcomes against each of these five areas are helping us ensure that we continue to deliver value to everyone in Western Australia.

Our journey

Throughout the decades, we continue to build, maintain and manage main roads to keep you connected.

Transport Portfolio
The transport portfolio isn't just about roads, boats, planes or trains.
It's about people.
People who need to get to work, home and everywhere in between and businesses that rely on road, rail, air and sea to deliver billions of dollars in goods and services each year.
An integrated and optimised transport network will give the Western Australian Community more choice and improve the quality of our lives and our environment.
Since 2010, WA's three key transport agencies - Main Roads, Department of Transport and Public Transport Authority - have worked together to enhance the coordination of operations and develop unified policies and regulatory functions.
The agencies each have different responsibilities and together they strive to provide world-class outcomes for our customers, all West Australians and visitors to our state, through integrated transport systems and services.
