Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Analyse transport needs.
   • Determine event transport needs based on analysis of key event information.
   • Identify and assess transport needs of different event stakeholders, including those with special needs.
   • Assess need for assistance from transport specialists or involvement of authorities in the transport planning process.
2. Develop transport strategy.
   • Source and analyse transport options and resources in consultation with relevant suppliers.
   • Assess transport issues and risks presented by event location and geography.
   • Analyse and respond to compliance requirements.
   • Analyse and incorporate transport issues and risks into transport strategy development.
   • Evaluate and respond to broader event management constraints and issues as they relate to event transport.
   • Consult with event stakeholders about transport strategies at appropriate times prior to the event.
   • Develop evaluation criteria for the transport strategy in consultation with stakeholders.
3. Develop transport operational plan.
   • Develop and document transport procedures for event components, including contingency procedures.
   • Determine and document internal and external resource requirements to maximise use, cost-effectiveness and profitability.
   • Identify critical tasks and allocate responsibilities and timelines.
   • Develop contractor specifications as required.
   • Obtain approval for plan from relevant stakeholders.
   • Provide operational information to staff and other stakeholders.
4. Evaluate transport strategy.
   • Evaluate efficiency and effectiveness of the transport strategy and plan based on agreed evaluation criteria.
   • Incorporate outcomes of evaluation into future planning.
