Who We Are

23288 BUSLINES Bathurst Tt A3 V1 Page 2

The Australian Timetable Association (ATA) is a not-for-profit body founded in Melbourne in 1983 by the late Jack McLean to promote interest in transport management and history via the analysis of documents such as timetables and operations manuals in all transport modes. 

The Association was originally founded as the Australian Association of Timetable Collectors. Its name was changed in October 2013 to better reflect the broad scope of its aims, objectives and activities

The Association has 142 members in most Australian states and territories, Europe, New Zealand, United Kingdom and Canada. Members are drawn from all walks of life, with a large proportion of transport professionals – managers, crew, timetable compilers and designers, owners and operators, archivists and librarians, as well as timetable collectors and enthusiasts. All find ATA of value in their work, daily lives and hobbies.
