The ATA’s 2025 election platform is a comprehensive plan to reduce costs for hard-pressed families and build the industry’s future.

The ATA developed the platform with its member associations and announced its policies during March and April 2025, ahead of the 3 May 2025 election. The platform document consolidates the ATA’s initiatives; it is a checklist for the ATA’s discussions with the incoming government.

The ATA platform calls for a $5 billion, ten year program of targeted road upgrades to support high productivity and zero and low tailpipe emission trucks, as well as making the road network more resilient.

The platform also calls on the next government to fund eight critical road projects to boost the industry’s productivity.

Government policies to improve the trucking industry’s productivity would save a typical Australian household more than $400 per year, every year, on their day to day purchases.

The Coalition and Labor both responded to the ATA’s platform during the campaign, which was sent to them as questionnaires. Their responses are also attached to this page.
