Ko wai mātou | About us

The focus of the Transport Services group is to provide, improve and maintain an integrated land transport system to effectively enable people-centred, technology-enabled, system focused transport services, in partnership with other system providers. The Roads of National Significance (RoNS) are vital state highway projects that will drive economic growth and productivity through faster, more efficient transport connections that reduce travel times and create a safer, more resilient roading network.

These projects, once complete, will stimulate economic growth by supporting new housing developments and enhancing export market links, ensuring people and freight can reach their destinations quickly and safely.

With a focus on innovative funding and delivery models, we're aiming to break ground within the next three years as part of a 10-year construction pipeline, transforming New Zealand's transport network and keeping the country moving.
