Why “2010 and Beyond”?

Land Transport NZ’s 2010 targets of less than 300 fatalities and 4,500 hospitalisations have been a goal for road controlling authorities for some years now. However, whether it’s these targets or other performance measures, our industry is coming under increased pressure to deliver on performance indicators. As well as safety, changes to legislation now place a significant focus on sustainability, integration and responsiveness when planning the nation’s future transportation needs.

So what can we do as an industry when looking toward 2010 and Beyond? Put simply, we need to consider the best way to meet and exceed all current and future targets. This will involve creative thinking, new innovations and improving on current best practice.
