ARTA’s Partners<br />
ARTA is not the implementing agency in many cases, especially for<br />
roading, and rail track and signalling projects. Therefore working<br />
with our partners and stakeholders is crucial for successful regional<br />
transport outcomes. One of ARTA’s primary aims is to improve the<br />
integration of transport activities amongst the various agencies in the<br />
<strong>Auckland</strong> region. In order to achieve this, ARTA has established<br />
strong collaborative relationships with agencies in the <strong>Auckland</strong><br />
region and nationally, as described below.<br />
Territorial Authorities<br />
There are seven territorial authorities in the <strong>Auckland</strong> region:<br />
<strong>Auckland</strong> City Council, Franklin District Council, Manukau City<br />
Council, North Shore City Council, Papakura District Council, Rodney<br />
District Council and Waitakere City Council. The territorial authorities<br />
control the roads in their areas, and are responsible for their upkeep<br />
and improvement. ARTA has developed close relationships with the<br />
territorial authorities, and provides advice on how their plans fit with<br />
regional objectives.<br />
The <strong>Auckland</strong> <strong>Regional</strong> Council (ARC)<br />
The ARC is the sole shareholder of ARTA. It provides funding for the<br />
majority of the expenditure for ARTA’s activities. ARTA annually<br />
submits a budget for public transport infrastructure and services to<br />
the ARC for inclusion in its Annual Plan.<br />
New Zealand <strong>Transport</strong> Agency (NZTA)<br />
The NZTA was formed in August 2008 by amalgamating <strong>Land</strong><br />
<strong>Transport</strong> New Zealand, which was responsible for managing the<br />
National <strong>Land</strong> <strong>Transport</strong> <strong>Programme</strong> and allocating transport funding<br />
nationally on behalf of central government, with Transit New Zealand,<br />
which was responsible for managing the State highway network<br />
across the country. NZTA HNO now submits its State highway<br />
programme to ARTA for inclusion in the RLTP. ARTA applies to the<br />
NZTA for funding of the <strong>Auckland</strong> RLTP (including ARTA’s activities).<br />
ARTA is working closely with the NZTA to integrate State highway,<br />
local roading, public transport and walking and cycling projects and<br />
ensure its State highway plans integrate with regional objectives.<br />
Central Government<br />
The Ministry of <strong>Transport</strong> (MoT) releases the Government Policy<br />
Statement on land transport funding, undertakes reviews of<br />
<strong>Auckland</strong>’s transport capabilities and guides the development of<br />
future strategies nationwide. The Ministries of Economic<br />
Development, Education, Environment, Treasury and Health, the<br />
New Zealand Police and the Accident Compensation Corporation<br />
are also involved and have an interest in improving transport in the<br />
region. Central government also directly funds KiwiRail.<br />
KiwiRail (New Zealand Railways Corporation)<br />
KiwiRail is the owner and manager of <strong>Auckland</strong>’s rail corridors and<br />
provides the track and signalling systems on which passenger and<br />
freight train services operate. ARTA works closely with KiwiRail to<br />
ensure the seamless provision of rail services.<br />
Public <strong>Transport</strong> Service Providers<br />
A wide range of transport operators supply bus, ferry and train<br />
services either under contract to ARTA or commercially (i.e. no<br />
subsidy support from ARTA).<br />
