Ministry of Transport of New Zealand

The Ministry of Transport is the government's principal transport adviser. The majority of our work is in providing policy advice and support to Ministers.

Through our advice we aim to:

improve the overall performance of the transport system
improve the performance of transport Crown entities
achieve better value for money for the government from its investment in the transport system.
We help the government give effect to its policy by supporting the development of legislation, regulations and rules. We also manage and account for funds invested in transport.

The Ministry represents New Zealand's interests internationally, particularly in aviation and maritime.
