**The Organisation**

Transport for NSW leads the development of safe, sustainable, integrated and equitable transport systems for the people of NSW - evolving our state transport network to offer greater choice and seamless experiences to meet the diverse needs of its users. It works collaboratively with passengers, the workforce, industry and across government to unlock better services, economic potential, and social connectivity.

As part of Transport for NSW’s transformative agenda, the Transport Asset Manager (TAM) has been established to enhance the safety and reliability of the state's rail assets, facilitating long-term investment in rail infrastructure, while also allowing for efficient operations comparable to private sector standards.

As a separate NSW statutory corporation, TAM will provide strategic oversight and assurance of the planning, procurement and maintenance of the State's transport assets, operating under Ministerial oversight and with an expert advisory board. With the primary objective of ensuring a safe and reliable network, TAM will also pursue social objectives such as investment in social housing, alongside its investment in rail assets.
