The point to point transport industry is set to become more competitive, innovative and responsive, when the new Point to Point (Taxis and Hire Vehicles Act) 2016 comes into effect from 1 November 2017. The law will allow all point to point transport industry players to adopt new technologies, establish more flexible business models and set more competitive prices for customers.
It's an exciting time! But there's also a lot for the industry to take on board.
With this in mind, the Point to Point Transport Commission has recently wrapped up a series of industry information sessions delivered to regional and metropolitan audiences across New South Wales. Led by the Point to Point Commissioner, Barbara Wise, the sessions gave industry an overview of what the new laws mean for their business, including detailed information on the new safety standards and a demonstration of the Point to Point Transport Commission Industry Portal. You can download a copy of the presentation here.
Over 1,500 people attended the events held in Tweed Heads, Ballina, Coffs Harbour, Queanbeyan, Gosford, Wagga Wagga, Tamworth, Brighton, Newcastle, Chatswood, Dubbo and Penrith. Thank you to those who came along and we hope the sessions provided you with some useful insights and some practical advice.
We will look forward to working with you in the coming weeks and months as we work through the transition together. If you have any outstanding questions or issues, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Further information can be found in our online resources, which will we continue to update with new information over the next few weeks and months.
