2016/17 NZ Transport Agency Research Programme Sector Transport Challenges
2016/17 NZ Transport Agency Research Programme Sector Transport Challenges
2016/17 Research Programme
The NZ Transport Agency is commencing the research round for2016/17 by asking you for key high-level land transport challenges which research can assist to address. To enable an effective response to the most pressing challenges facing the land transport sector, transport decision makers (the Transport Agency, the Ministry of Transport and Local Government) will consider your sector challenges when they formulate research topics for the Transport Agency Research Programme.
We are looking for challenges, or ‘broad brush’ indications of problems, which research can assist to address. We are not asking you for research topics for projects. While challenges might not align one-on-one with research projects, elements will be addressed through them.
And so that you are aware, the Transport Agency’s research topic group owners, who are subject matter experts, are likely to be approaching your staff directly to discuss challenges.
Have you seen the Transport Agency’s new research webpage?
