Across Australia, more than 1,300 lives are lost and over 40,000 people are seriously injured on our roads each year. National Road Safety Week is a time to remember those impacted and to commit to doing better. One of the most meaningful ways to get involved is by committing to the “Drive So Others Survive” pledge. It is a simple promise with real impact, asking every driver to think beyond themselves and take responsibility for everyone on the road.

Every year, Australians come together for National Road Safety Week 2026—a powerful initiative dedicated to raising awareness and encouraging safer choices on our roads. Running from 17 to 24 May 2026, this important week is a reminder that road safety is everyone’s responsibility. Whether you’re an individual, a business, or a school, there are simple and meaningful ways to get involved.

National Road Safety Week (17–24 May 2026) is just around the corner - a perfect reminder that every one of us plays a part in creating safer roads. It’s also the ideal moment to help kids understand these important lessons in a fun, hands‑on way. That’s why we’re excited to bring back a much‑loved favourite: the Altus Road Safety Colouring Competition.

Altus Traffic is proud to announce that our Events Team in Victoria has been awarded Highly Commended in the Traffic Management Project/Event of the Year category at the 2026 Traffic Management Association of Australia (TMAA) Excellence Awards.

Altus is extremely proud to be recognised as the winner of the Traffic Management Company of the Year (Level 6 and Over) Award. This achievement belongs first and foremost to our incredible team of more than 5,500 people across the country. Every day, their dedication, professionalism and care make a real difference by protecting road users, supporting our clients, and helping ensure that everyone gets home safely.

Altus Traffic proudly congratulates Britt O’Dwyer on her appointment as President of the Traffic Management Association of Australia, marking a significant milestone in a career spanning more than 15 years of leadership in traffic management — and an historic moment as the first female President of the organisation.

As we close out another action-packed year, Altus Traffic is proud to reflect on the extraordinary events we helped deliver across Australia in 2025. From international sporting championships and major cultural festivals to community carols and university open days, our specialised events division has been front and centre; keeping traffic flowing, pedestrians safe and communities moving.

This year, the Altus Group is incredibly proud to celebrate seven finalist nominations across a range of categories at the 2026 TMAA Excellence Awards — recognising the outstanding people and projects that make up our national team.

If you work in traffic management in Australia, you already know: the industry doesn't stand still. Standards shift, technology evolves, and the conversation about how we keep people safe on and around our roads keeps getting more complex. In 2025, we made a deliberate choice to be part of those conversations — not from the sidelines, but from the table where decisions get made.

With thousands of students returning to classrooms across Australia, it’s the perfect moment for all motorists to reset, refocus and recommit to road safety around schools. School zone speed limits are now back in force, and that means slowing down, staying alert, and remembering that children can be unpredictable near roads.

Altus Group CEO, Ben Marsonet, recently joined Ross Greenwood on Business Weekend (Sky News) alongside NSW Productivity Commissioner Peter Achterstraat to discuss one of the most underestimated drivers of economic growth: the night. 

As another Movember draws to a close, the Altus and TMNZ community has once again demonstrated just how powerful collective action can be. What began as a few brave souls willing to sacrifice their upper-lip dignity quickly evolved into one of our most impactful Movember campaigns to date, fuelled by determination, generosity and a good dose of humour.

The 2025 Traffic Controller Safety Survey highlights the importance of continued collaboration, innovation and training in making Australia and New Zealand’s roadworks safer for all. Drawing on feedback from more than 1,600 traffic controllers, the survey offers valuable insights into the daily experiences and risks faced by those working in and around live traffic environments. 

Every day, thousands of road workers enter high-risk environments to help build, repair, and maintain the infrastructure that keeps our communities moving. Behind the hi-vis vests, cones, and road signs are real people — parents, siblings, friends, and neighbours — each with a story, a purpose, and someone waiting for them to come home.

At Altus Group, we talk often about growth, opportunity, and our people-first culture. Today, those values are more than words — they’re in motion. In a remarkable first for our organisation, 10 talented team members from TMNZ have made the leap across the Tasman, joining Altus Traffic in Adelaide, South Australia.  

The MBT-1® is the only unit of its kind currently in Australia. After successful deployments on some of New South Wales’ busiest corridors—including joint operations with Transport for NSW and Connect Sydney on the M1—it is now available for use in Victoria.
