The Australian Taxi Industry Association
The Australian Taxi Industry Association (ATIA) represents the Australian taxi services industry, and more broadly the point-to-point transport sector, on national issues.
Since its formation, the ATIA has been an effective voice articulating industry positions and working with the Federal Government, and its agencies, to find workable solutions to legislative, regulatory and policy matters.
ATIA advocates that a strong and viable industry is best placed to develop and implement efficiency innovations that maximise the contribution its members can make towards improving the safety and effectiveness of the overall public transport system. ATIA considers taxi services to be anywhere-to-anywhere personalised transport in small vehicles that can both substitute for, and/or integrate with bus, rail and tram services.
The Board of the ATIA meets regularly to discuss issues and opportunities, and holds an annual conference to brief the Industry on progress and outcomes.
The ATIA is committed to the following:
- Conducting an ongoing audit of legislation and regulatory changes across Australia to protect the interests of industry members.
- Facilitating the development of quality taxi services across Australia through liaising with government, the media, consumer groups and member service providers.
- Encouraging practices aimed at further improving the safety, security and well-being of all participants in the supply chain for taxi services.
- Promoting innovations within the industry that improve the efficiency, accessibility, and sustainability of taxi services.
- Ensuring the dissemination of critical information to the industry through communications and education programs.
- Hosting the annual ATIA International Taxi Conference to ensure the latest product and service developments and opportunities are available to the Industry.
