A Review of Highway Agencies in the South Asia Region The Access and Use Group provides services such as driver licenses and motor vehicle registration, and also regulates transport operators; The Organizational Support Group develops and implements corporate strategies and policies to support overall organizational performance; and The People and Capability Group is responsible for implementing the human resources policy of NZTA. The Minister of Transport can appoint up to eight members to the Board. The Board meets monthly from February to December. It is responsible for making independent decisions on allocating and investing funds from the National Land Transport Fund. The Board publishes its planned program of investment annually in the NLTA.

A Review of Highway Agencies in the South Asia Region C.2.3 Main Tasks of NZTA Road Infrastructure Network Managed by NZTA NZTA is primarily responsible for roughly 11,000 km of state highways. Around half of the 36 million vehicle km travelled each year are driven on these state highways 34 . The quality of the network is good: in 2008 only 1.5 percent of the road network had a roughness exceeding the threshold level for that type of road. NZTA is responsible for tasks that range “from ensuring the government’s national priorities are achieved, through to working with local councils in planning for their land transport needs. From building and maintaining state highways to supporting the use of buses and trains. From licensing cars to providing cycleways and walkways for use.” These tasks are set out in a comprehensive framework of legislation and performance is constantly monitored 35 . In order to fulfill these tasks, three underlying competencies are identified: Planning and programming; Execution of works; and Audit and control. Within these three competencies, a distinction can be made between the technical activities and financial or budget related activities. Planning and Programming NZTA has an integrated planning strategy (Figure C8). In this approach, different aspects of planning are considered jointly, and activities of different organizations relevant to transport infrastructure are also incorporated. The strategy aims to provide a clearly defined framework to guide the work with planning partners and local authorities at all levels – national, regional and local. NZTA has its own policy standards and guidelines on transport planning and land use planning as well as the integration of both approaches.
