In New Zealand, the planning and investment of transportation is primarily the responsibility of the New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA). The NZTA is a Crown entity that is responsible for the development and implementation of national transport policies and strategies.
The NZTA works closely with local authorities and other organizations to plan and invest in transportation infrastructure and services in New Zealand. This includes the development of new roads, the maintenance and improvement of existing roads, the planning of public transport services, and the promotion of active modes of transportation such as walking and cycling.
The NZTA is also responsible for the allocation of funding for transportation projects and initiatives. This funding comes from a variety of sources, including government grants, tolls, and user charges.
Overall, the goal of transportation planning and investment in New Zealand is to create a safe, efficient, and sustainable transport system that meets the needs of the country's people and businesses.
