Yarra Trams: Keeping Melbourne Moving Every Day joins Catchment

Yarra Trams operates the world’s largest tram network - running thousands of daily services across Melbourne and employing thousands of people throughout the city.

Taylor Jenkins, Catchment

Yarra Trams operates the largest tram network in the world - running more than 1,700 services every day across 250 kilometres of track through Melbourne's inner suburbs, CBD, and beyond.

As the operator of an essential public service for millions of Melburnians, Yarra Trams carries obligations that extend well beyond running trams on time. The company employs thousands of people directly and engages an extensive supply chain of maintenance contractors, infrastructure suppliers, and service providers - all of whom contribute to keeping Melbourne's iconic tram network running.

In a city that takes its trams seriously, Yarra Trams is expected to operate not just efficiently but responsibly - demonstrating the social and economic value its operations generate for the communities it serves.

Yarra Trams leverages Catchment to manage social procurement compliance and workforce reporting across their operations and capital program - delivering structured evidence of community benefit to the Victorian Government and meeting their obligations under the state's social procurement framework.
