Ministry of Transport

Transport is essential for the lives of every New Zealander. It allows us to access economic and social opportunities within New Zealand and across the globe. The Ministry of Transport is the government's chief policy adviser on transport. We provide advice on the funding, investment and regulatory arrangements needed to support a sound transport system, including land, aviation and maritime transport. In all our actions, we strive to deliver on our purpose of: Enabling New Zealanders to flourish. As a policy ministry, it is our role to provide strategic sector knowledge, day-to-day transport advice, and a programme of work that meets the Government's priorities of the day. We work closely with transport Crown agencies to deliver results.
