ARTA Annual Report 2009 - Auckland Transport

We have a very diverse workforce of 115, with representation from many parts of the world. The people
employed by ARTA are primarily at a professional level including rolling stock engineers, planners and
account managers. The rest of the organisation is made up of skilled staff across all other areas such as
finance, organisational development, administration, marketing, communications and media.
The common thread – a passion for
Auckland and contributing to
making our city a better place to
live, work and play.

* The service history of staff who transitioned from the ARC when ARTA was formed is counted in this statistic but the low average is
primarily due to ARTA’s rapid growth and its short, five-year existence.
Getting on board
In the past year, a new Walking and Cycling Coordinator, who has recently completed a dissertation relating
to the barriers to cycling to schools, has joined the Strategy and Planning team. We have also reversed the
migration trend by attracting an event expert from Australia to manage the Rugby World Cup.
They, like all new employees, went through a comprehensive induction programme. The programme
includes a welcome aboard booklet, a ‘buddy’ for the first week, and a network journey on different modes
of public transport.
