The IAP is a national program which uses GPS technology to remotely monitor where, when and how heavy vehicles are operated on South Australia roads.
In South Australia, the IAP is voluntary and provides heavy vehicle operators with access or improved road access in negotiation with the Department of Planning, Transport and Infrastructure.
What are the benefits?
The transport operator will benefit by obtaining improved access arrangements that could in turn lead to improved freight productivity opportunities.
The community benefits through greater assurances that the right trucks operate on the right roads at the right times, offering improved road safety and reducing the impact on infrastructure as a result of non-compliance with access conditions set by Australian road authorities.
Who can enrol?
You may be eligible to enrol if you are operating the following heavy vehicle combinations:
- single articulated
