About Us

The objectives of Canberra Transport Museum Inc are;

A) To encourage and preserve by means of restoration, maintenance, operation and display, examples of Canberra’s heritage and historic transport vehicles and associated memorabilia.

B) To foster interest in Canberra’s transport heritage, its vehicles, technology and environment in which they operated.

C) To ensure a secure future for all preserved items of significance and to make them available for the public to enjoy.

We hope one day to have a physical museum site which will be open to the public, featuring restored historic vehicles, displays, photographs and other historic transport memorabilia.

At the current point in time the CTM aims to run at least one ‘tour’ or event each year, where members of the community will be able to travel on one or more of our historic vehicles navigating old bus routes, take photos and visit scenic locations. As we further invest time into the project.

As you may expect, transport heritage is not just limited to the ACT. There are a number of organisations around Australia with similar goals to the CTM in their own parts of the country. Some of these are listed below. If you would like your group listed please get in touch with us.
