To ensure our transport system helps New Zealand thrive, we need to be able to understand the past, take stock of the present and anticipate the future. We also need to improve communication about the research work that is available to assist the transport sector.
The Ministry of Transport, with its partner agencies the NZ Transport Agency, Maritime New Zealand and the Civil Aviation Authority, held a full-day conference on 19 November 2015. Along with Local Government NZ, the agencies presented on strategic policy projects and research work.
