The Transportation Working Group (TPTWG), launched in 1991, seeks to liberalize of transportation services, and enhance the safety of APEC transport systems in order to encourage economic development in the Asia-Pacific region. At the same time parallel measures are being undertaken by economies to strengthen security in all modes of transportation, namely, land, sea, and air transport.The

Energy Working Group (EWG), launched in 1990, seeks to maximize the energy sector's contribution while mitigating the environmental effects of energy supply and use. Key EWG initiatives relate to energy security and sustainable development.

The Telecommunications and Information Working Group (TEL) was formed in 1990 and aims to improve telecommunications and information infrastructure in the Asia-Pacific region by developing and implementing appropriate telecommunications and information policies, including relevant human resource and development cooperation strategies.
