The need to find alternative funding sources for infrastructure projects will be high on the agenda at Roads, Tolling & Tech 2025.

As electric vehicle take-up increases, and fuel excise income decreases, the conference will look at "how technology, policy and public support can align to create a future-proof and equitable road funding system". 

Held in Melbourne and organised by ITS Australia, Roads, Tolling & Tech 2025 will also examine transport infrastructure projects in the state of Victoria.
