The New South Wales Government has set an ambitious target to become a world leading adopter of Connected and Automated Vehicles (CAV). CAVs will significantly change the way we travel by enabling safer, smoother and more reliable journeys for passengers and freight.

In order to achieve this target, TfNSW sought support and direction in how to progress a large program of CAV projects (approximately 25 individual projects) through development into delivery, including securing funding pathways.
