Creating a single integrated network accessible to everyone.
About us
We are a department of more than 8,800 employees across the state. Our vision is to create a single integrated network accessible to everyone. No department has a bigger role to play in keeping the Queensland of today moving, or in helping build for the future. Each year we have more than 3.6 million face-to-face interactions with Queenslanders and more than 6.7 million transactions using online service channels. We are responsible for around 80 percent of all government counter transactions. We are an exciting place to work, with an enormous scope of work incorporating 79 different occupational areas. Every day Queenslanders rely on the transport network to get them to work, to school, and to health care. As the most decentralised state in Australia, transport is a key driver of economic growth, and we are at the front line of planning, developing and maintaining the extensive network required to keep Queensland moving. We lead emerging technologies so our transport network meets the needs of our customers now and into the future. We deliver our core business through four key services: • Transport system investment planning and programming – focused on developing policy frameworks for the future development of the transport system and to plan and prioritise strategic investment in effective, efficient and sustainable integrated transport infrastructure, systems and services • Transport infrastructure management and delivery – focused on constructing, maintaining, managing and operating an integrated transport network accessible to all • Transport safety, regulation and customer service – focused on improving customer service and managing and regulating the transport system safely, economically and sustainably and without imposing unnecessary red tape • Passenger transport services – focused on leading and shaping Queensland’s overall passenger transport system. Ultimately, we bring Queensland closer together.

Today, we celebrate Sharon, who has dedicated 40 years to keeping our children safe as a School Crossing Supervisor. Sharon’s journey started as a concerned parent, wanting to give back to her community while being there for her own children. Four decades later, she's still out there every day, ensuring our kids cross safely. From snakes on crossings to dodging flying rubbish, Sharon's job has been challenging, funny, and endlessly rewarding. She’s seen it all—starting in a simple doctor's coat and thongs, to today's advanced PPE safety gear. Her message to drivers is clear: "Slow down around schools. Kids might not always be aware of road dangers." Sharon, thank you for your incredible commitment and the difference you’ve made for generations. 🚗✌️❤️ #SafetyFirst #CommunityHero #SchoolCrossingSupervisor #40YearsOfService

In celebration of the LGBTIQ+ communities and their allies, we proudly participated in the Melt River Pride Parade on November 9. From the iconic William Jolly Bridge to the Brisbane Powerhouse, we joined a vibrant flotilla of over 50 vessels in a colourful display of pride. 🌈 We are honoured to be a major supporter of the Melt festival, produced by Brisbane Powerhouse. Events like this are vital for promoting inclusivity, showing that every voice matters, and reinforcing the strength of our diverse communities. Our Maritime Safety Queensland officers played a key role, ensuring safety throughout the event. From managing our fleet of vessels and jet skis to providing on-the-water support, they helped make the parade a smooth and successful celebration for everyone involved. 🛥✨ We extend our thanks to all the employees, volunteers, and participants who came together to make this happen, and to Brisbane City Council and River City Ferries for their work behind the scenes. #Pride #Inclusion #LGBTIQ #MaritimeSafety #MeltFestival #CommunityCelebration

How do we protect Queensland's unique flora and fauna while ensuring our communities stay connected? 🌿🐨 Our updated Fauna Sensitive Transport Infrastructure Delivery Manual (FSTIDM) is here to guide the way! This comprehensive resource provides vital information on how to design, build, and maintain roads and railways that support fauna connectivity, meet our ecological responsibilities and importantly, better meet the needs of native fauna. We are actively contributing to the development of transport networks that are not only sustainable but inclusive, catering to the environmental considerations of today as well as anticipating those of the future.

Today, we commemorate Remembrance Day. At the 11th hour of November 11, Australians will pause for a moment's silence to honour the selfless service of all those who've served our country during times of war and in peace at home or overseas, on land, at sea, or in the skies. We remember the fallen, those who did not return, the injured, those currently on deployment, and those preparing to leave home and serve. We remember their enduring sacrifice, and that of their families and loved ones. Lest we forget.
