John Stanley joined ITLS in July 2008 as an Adjunct Professor. Prior to taking on this role, he had nine years as Executive Director of Bus Association Victoria, after eight years as Deputy Chairman of Australia's National Road Transport Commission. He has been a member of the Vicurban Board, the Urban Renewal Authority Victoria Board, the Victorian Alpine Resorts Coordinating Council, a Commissioner of Victoria's State Services Authority, is past Chair of ADC Forum and of People and Parks Foundation and is a current director of Road Safety Inspections P/L. John was a member of the Ministerial Advisory Committee that advised Victoria's Ministers for Planning on Melbourne's current Metropolitan Planning Strategy. His research interests focus on land use transport policy and planning, with a particular specialization on how this can be used to reduce social exclusion. The latter research has enabled considerable improvement in benefit measurement for initiatives intended to reduce exclusion. John has published widely on these subjects in international journals and is co-author of the books, An Introduction to Transport Policy (2014), How Great Cities Happen (2017; 2022) and A Research Agenda for Transport Policy (2019). He has also published widely on project evaluation and on contracting for bus service delivery.
