Ko wai matou | About us
As the lead regulator for land transport, our purpose is to ensure that the system is safe, efficient, effective, and operates in the public interest. Safety is a top priority for Waka Kotahi, and we, as Te Ropu Waeture (the Regulatory Services group), aim to improve safety and reduce the risk of harm by being a firm and fair real-world regulator applying principles of good practice grounded in Te Ao Maori - Whakapono (Integrity), Manaakitanga (Caring for people), Whanaungatanga (Relationships), and Kotahitanga (Unity). Being a real-world regulator means we take a systems view that is focused on improving safety outcomes and reducing harm; we work to understand why people behave the way they do and are pragmatic in how we respond; we encourage and educate to support people to comply and enforce compliance when necessary.
