Adelaide, South Australia, Australia

With over 40 years' experience, I am a leader in planning integrated public transport systems that will generate patronage growth by working with operators, technical specialists, the wider community and public transport customers. I continue to provide technical leadership in transport advisory services using empirical evidence and analytics, research with relevant case studies and high-quality maps for presentations and reports. I have completed studies and strategies for all modes of transport in local communities with a lower risk of crashes by designing for healthy streets that will encourage more walking and cycling and safer transport to schools. At Tonkin, I am working closely with other disciplines in engineering design, urban and environmental planning, urban design, architecture and economics to support infrastructure projects that are planned and funded to achieve the best outcomes for the wider community through openness and transparency.
