Strategies
Getting there - on foot, by cycle
Getting there - on foot, by cycle aims to improve environments for walking and cycling, improve safety for pedestrians and cyclists, and increase the choice of walking and cycling for day-to-day transport. To achieve these goals, it identifies 10 priorities for action under four key focus areas.
Improving road safety education for young people
Safer Young Drivers: a guide to best practice education aims to improve the quality and effectiveness of all road safety education programmes targeting young drivers. It draws on extensive international research and experience.
Investment and revenue strategy
The NZTA strategic direction
National energy efficiency and conservation strategy
The National Energy Efficiency and Conservation Strategy (NEECS or Strategy) set the agenda for government programmes to promote greater energy efficiency, energy conservation and the use of renewable energy across the economy.
The New Zealand Energy Strategy is an important part of a package of initiatives the government has introduced to advance sustainability and economic transformation, and to help New Zealand respond to climate change.
The National Rail Strategy sets out the government's rail policy objectives and priorities for action over the next ten years, and outlines key initiatives that are intended to achieve the outcomes sought. Within this framework, government rail sector agencies will be responsible for developing the detailed programmes and strategies required to achieve the objectives.
Transport has a key role to play in helping New Zealand to develop economically and socially in ways that protect the environment. This New Zealand Transport Strategy is the first that recognises all modes and users of transport, those who provide transport, and those affected by transport.
It has been developed to enable the transport sector to respond more effectively to the changing environment in which it must operate and to support New Zealand becoming a more sustainable nation.
The New Zealand Disability Strategy's vision is of a society that highly values the lives and continually enhances the full participation of disabled people. It provides a framework to guide government agencies making policy and services impacting on disabled people.
The New Zealand Injury Prevention Strategy is an expression of the Government's commitment to working with organisations and groups in the wider community to improve the country's injury prevention efforts.
NZ road policing strategy to 2010
Road Policing Strategy to 2010 sets out the road policing focus for the next three years as New Zealand Police works toward playing its part in reducing road trauma. Road Policing will support the wider strategic goals of NZ Police. Community reassurance, policing with confidence and organisational development will be targeted along with enforcement activity around the 'fatal five' areas of speed, drink/drug driving, restraints, dangerous/careless driving and high risk drivers.
The New Zealand Urban Design Protocol provides a platform to make New Zealand towns and cities more successful through quality urban design. It is part of the Government's Sustainable Development Programme of Action and Urban Affairs portfolio.
Pedestrian and cyclist road safety framework
This Pedestrian and Cyclist Road Safety Framework outlines a comprehensive approach for effectively reducing risks to, and improving safety for, pedestrians and cyclists.
Road Safety to 2010 provides a direction for road safety in New Zealand, and describes the results the government wants to achieve by 2010.
The Transport Research Strategy is a first for New Zealand. It informs those who fund or undertake transport related research of the transport sector's research needs for the shorter-term future. The strategy includes a research work programme that sets out priorities for the transport sector over the next five years.
