Transport Resilience and Capacity Kickstart (TRACK) – Round 1
What do you get?

About the program
The Transport Resilience and Capacity Kickstart (TRACK) Program - Round 1 grant opportunity is a pilot round of the program and will run over 2026-2027.
The objective of the TRACK Program - Round 1 grant opportunity is to maximise diesel conservation by supporting the redirection of existing road freight transportation to more fuel-efficient modes of transport, with a focus on financially incentivising rail freight operators to increase capacity and utilisation.
The grant opportunity is a pilot, and as such aims to test the effectiveness of per-TEU incentive payments as a mechanism for achieving rapid modal shift, generating evidence to inform future rounds of the program.
The intended outcomes of this grant opportunity are the:
- reduction of the average diesel intensity of freight transport across supported routes
- increased volume of containerised freight or TEU moved by rail above established baseline volumes.
