A transport voice says there's some sense to the Government's new mega-Ministry idea.
It wants to abolish the environment, housing and urban development, and transport ministries and introduce a new Ministry of Cities, Environment, Regions and Transport – M CERT.
It argues these areas are undergoing reforms and right now the system's too fragmented.
Transporting NZ's Dom Kalasih told Andrew Dickens navigating across multiple agencies can carry challenges, and sometimes "less is more".
He says transport's one part of a larger eco-system so taking a more unified connected approach makes some sense.
However, there’s a worry that projects that are already on the go, such as road user and congestion charges, may not be achieved as efficiently.
Kalasih says the sector’s just started to gain momentum in these areas.
