Enhancing Asset Performance for NSW Transport Operators with Transdev Through Maturity Assessment

Overview

Transdev Australasia (TDA) operates vital transport services across New South Wales, including Sydney Ferries, Sydney Light Rail, and Region 9 TDJH Buses. To ensure these operations not only meet but exceed industry standards, SAS-AM delivers comprehensive Asset Management services focused on Operational Readiness and Assurance (ORA), compliance, and performance enhancement.

In partnership with TDA, SAS-AM undertakes annual ISO55001:2024 compliance surveillance activities. These are paired with maturity assessments against both the international ISO standard and the GFMAM’s 40 Subjects, driving better decision-making and performance transparency.

What We Delivered

Compliance Assurance

We provided independent, third-party assurance that each transport operation met its contractual obligations. This corporate-level compliance check strengthens community trust in public transport infrastructure by ensuring reliable, consistent service delivery.

Maturity and Gap Assessment

Using the IAM maturity framework, SAS-AM evaluated the level of asset management maturity across TDA’s operations. This activity pinpointed strengths and highlighted opportunities for improvement, supporting more informed planning and investment in community transport assets.

Sector Benchmarking

Through deep sector expertise and performance benchmarking, SAS-AM helped TDA understand its position relative to other transport entities. This ensures strategic alignment with sector best practices, fostering innovation and reliability in everyday operations.
