With a passion for place making and planning accessible infrastructure, this is a valuable opportunity to hear directly from Trudi about Sydney’s transport systems and discuss TfNSW’s efforts to bolster long-term resilience against the impacts of extreme weather and climate change. Trudi will also discuss how TfNSW is embedding sustainable principles across its full suite of operations as we transition to a net zero transport system.
