SPAD / LRTAE Working Group
The SPAD/LRTAE Working Group is an industry group coordinated by ARISO, bringing together rail organisations from across Australia and New Zealand to collaborate on SPAD and LRTAE matters of national significance.
The Group meets generally three times per year and provides a SPAD/LRTAE Forum for industry every two years. Meetings focus on SPAD and LRTAE related activities for national application, including light rail, and provide leadership through collaboration, shared learning and coordinated industry responses.
