The Transition to Retirement (TTR) option is a government initiative which recognizes that members may want to decrease their working hours over time towards the end of their career.  It allows members to access their super benefits as an income stream, prior to retirement.  Some members use it as an opportunity to boost their super benefits overall or to just ease into retirement.
