Ministry of Transport

The Ministry of Transport ensures transport services that meet the current and future needs of New Zealanders, that are accessible, efficient and safe for both people and our environment.

The Ministry achieves this through two key functions: policy development and advice to the Government, and contracting and monitoring government transport agencies' performance. These agencies are Land Transport Safety Authority (LTSA), Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), Transport Accident & Investigation Commission (TAIC), Transfund, Transit, and Maritime Safety Authority (MSA).
