With momentum building towards 2016 and hosting the 6456 ITS World Congress in Melbourne, 858 ITS Australia has appointed a new board of directors with John Hawkins, Manu Hingorani and Michael Watts elected for two-year terms.

ITS Australia’s president Brian Negus said efficient and environmentally sustainable transport is a goal for all communities and having been voted the World’s Most Liveable City, it is appropriate that Melbourne will host the 2016 World Congress.

He said the World Congress Organising Committee is working to ensure the 2016 event is even more successful than the Sydney conference in 2001.

ITS Australia will also host the National Electronic Tolling Conference 2014 (NeTC2014) between 27 – 29 May at the Swissôtel in Sydney.
