Consultation
Why consult?
Integrated transport solutions require a collaborative approach to transport planning, funding and development. The NZ Transport Agency seeks your input to this process through our consultation programme. We are committed to open and honest consultation with all our stakeholders, including road users, business, local government, communities and iwi.
