Who we are

Working alongside Main Roads Western Australia and the Public Transport Authority, DoT recognises that transport is about people - connecting the community and ensuring everyone is able to safely get to where they need to be. 

Our goods and services extend through an intricate system of roads, railways, airports, ports and waterways, where we educate and regulate the public in the use of these networks. 

We also coordinate and prioritise the transport-related infrastructure which allows our economy to grow.
