The Institute's mission is to promote the positive and productive
aspects of traffic and transport planning and management, and to
influence decisions in these matters for the benefit of the community,
by representing the expertise of practitioners and the interests
of its members. The Institute aims to advance traffic planning and management, to increase the knowledge of its members by encouraging free discussion, exchange of ideas and research in this field, and to provide a central point of reference for practitioners. The Institute has adopted a Corporate Plan which sets out goals, objectives and strategic directions in the areas of representation, promotion, education and administration |

Since its formation the Institute has pursued discussion and
action about appropriate traffic and transport management approaches
for the Australian environment. This continual focussing on the
relevant issues has led to the situation where traffic management
is now an integral part of any land-use development, not an optional
extra. The Institute has attracted an impressive range of Corporate members and sponsors for its activities. These include state road and traffic authorities, automobile associations, government departments and private industry.Over the years, membership of the Institute has been seen by many employers as desirable for employment in traffic planning and management. |

In the early 1960s those practitioners associated with
the planning and management of road traffic had come to represent
a wide range of training, expertise and experience. Many of those
were not eligible for membership of professional institutions,
and it became clear that there was a need for a non-restrictive
association to foster developments in this emerging area. In 1966
the Australian Institute of Traffic Technology was formed, in
which a person's working experience, expertise and interests,
rather than academic qualifications, became the common link. |

The Institute continued to grow, reflecting the many developments
in traffic engineering and associated planning and management,
and in the early 1980s changed its name to the Australian Institute
of Traffic Planning and Management. From its beginnings as a small
group of practitioners in Sydney, the Institute has now become
a truly national organisation, with Branches in NSW, South Australia,
Queensland and Victoria. It became an Incorporated association
in the early 1990s. It has more than 500 members, representing practitioners in federal and state government agencies, local government councils, private practice and academic institutions. It is governed by a National Council in accordance with the charter and procedures set down in its Constitution and By-Laws, and enjoys the Patronage of the relevant Government Minister in each State. |
