Michael Hopkins brings expertise in future-focused transport reform to his role as CEO of the National Transport Commission, having previously been a senior executive at the NTC and Victoria’s Department of Transport.
As a consultant, Michael provided expert evidence-based advice to industry and local, state and international governments on responding to the contemporary challenges faced by a transport sector in transition.
His focus is on delivering reforms that improve the lives of Australians, whether through shorter, faster journeys, cheaper goods because the freight network is more efficient or through safer roads and rail travel.
Michael has a Masters in public administration from the Australian and New Zealand School of Government (via the University of Melbourne), a Bachelor of Arts in philosophy and chairs the Monash University Institute of Transport Studies’ industry advisory group.
