Working in transport

Updated: 16 October 2009

As just one part of the transport sector we closely cooperate with sector agencies and others with an interest in land transport. Our role is to provide a vital link between government policy making and the operation of the transport sector.

We maintain close working relationships with:

  • transport operators and the general public, who use and interact with transport
  • transport committees, regional councils and territorial local authorities, which are responsible for implementing transport projects and other activities funded through the National Land Transport Programme
  • suppliers, including contractors and consultants
  • the NZ Police, which provides a range of road policing services
  • the Ministry of Transport, which is responsible for leading the development of strategic transport policy and monitoring performance of the sector’s Crown entities.
