We are delighted to confirm the next Forum will be on 4 June at Rydges Airport hotel in Wellington.
We appreciate that through the Pandemic we have not been able to deliver our normal services.

The theme for the Forum is GPS2021 – Working together to meet our future funding challenges. During the session we’re going to hear from a range of speakers on topics such as funding challenges surrounding the National Land Transport Programme, Implementing Road to Zero including the new speed setting rule and KiwiRails new strategic direction.
