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 Transport Strategy 2008 (NZTS) sets out a plan for the whole transport sector in New Zealand to 2040, introducing defined targets and actions to achieve the targets for the first time.
