About this event
Discover how professionals and industry leaders navigated the challenges of Perth’s 18-month Armadale Line shutdown, one of the city’s most impactful public transport disruptions.
Presentation 1: Road Network Mitigation Strategy for Armadale Line Shutdown
Hear from Nogol Shams Abadi, Acting Traffic Services Manager, as she delves into innovative road management solutions and bus priority strategies deployed during the shutdown. Learn about advanced traffic systems and proactive planning techniques that ensured mobility for commuters and rail replacement services.
Presentation 2: Armadale Line Closure: Insights, Outcomes, and Lessons from a Transperth Perspective
Join Glenn Herbert, Network and System Planner at Transperth, for a data-driven analysis of the replacement bus network's performance. Discover key insights into passenger demand, service reliability, and the impact of inter-agency collaboration in mitigating large-scale disruptions.
Presentation 3: Keeping Communities Moving During Disruption: Armadale Line Active Travel Project
Hear from Helen Ginbey, Manager Behaviour Change at the Department of Transport, as she shares how active travel was promoted during the Armadale Line shutdown. Grounded in best practice behaviour change principles - Capability, Opportunity, and Motivation - the project encouraged walking, cycling, and scooting for local trips. Learn how cross-agency collaboration and school engagement supported community resilience during disruption, with initiatives like WA’s first School Open Street events.
This event offers invaluable lessons for transportation planners, policymakers, and operations professionals. Gain practical insights into successful mitigation strategies, collaborative efforts, and future-proof planning that pave the way for resilient and efficient transport networks.
