What it does
The Transport Integration Act 2010 (Vic) is the overarching framework Act for Victoria's transport system. It establishes the purpose, vision, objectives, and decision-making principles that all Victorian government transport bodies and interface bodies must apply when making decisions under any transport legislation.
The Act does not itself operate transport services, acquire transport assets, or regulate individual interactions between users and the transport system. Its function is constitutional and strategic: it sets the framework within which all other transport legislation and all transport governance decisions must operate. When a question arises about whether a transport decision was lawfully made, the Transport Integration Act's objectives and principles are the primary interpretive tools.
The Act was enacted in 2010 following a comprehensive review of Victoria's fragmented transport governance, and it has been amended many times since to reflect successive machinery of government changes. As at 1 January 2026 (Version 091), it contains over 12 major Parts and incorporates the statutory frameworks for the Department of Transport, the Secretary, the Head, Transport for Victoria (the principal delivery entity), and the transport sector agencies.
