Transport Administrator
Transport administrators plan, organise and control the
operational activities in road, rail, air and water transport.
Transport administrators may perform the following tasks:
- coordinate transport and related staff
- devise or approve methods and procedures for operating
freight and passenger services, time schedules and routes
- review passenger and freight rate structures where these
are not controlled by government agencies and transport
associations
- help to develop transport operating policy.
The transport administrator's role is becoming increasingly
specialised and sophisticated. Transport administrators need a
thorough understanding of the transport industry and a
knowledge of how the four principal types of transport
interact. These are:
Road
Passenger (bus, coach, taxi) transport provided by both
government agencies and private companies; goods transport
related to general carriers such as courier, taxi truck and
heavy haulage services; and the operations of large commercial
enterprises which have delivery vehicles such as bakeries,
meat and food processors.
Rail
Passenger transport in the metropolitan area and passenger
and goods transport provided in the country and interstate.
Air
Passenger and goods transport provided by private, domestic
and overseas airlines.
Sea
Passenger and goods transport provided by local and
overseas shipping companies.
Transport administrators may specialise as a
Logistics Officer who manages the supply and
distribution of stock and resources for large organisations.
