Trafinz | Achievements | The New Zealand Local Authority Traffic Institute

Fifty Years of Achievement :

TRAFINZ has a 50-year record of achievement. One of New Zealand's older local authority
based organisations, it began life as the New Zealand Traffic Institute, to represent those
councils with their own departments for the enforcement of both traffic and parking
regulations.

As the responsibilities of local authorities have changed, so the organisation's focus
changed from general traffic enforcement, to a wider interest in pursuing all aspects of
road safety. In more recent years this focus had broadened to also encompass traffic
management in general, roading reform, effective community involvement, environmental
issues, parking and transport planning.

Today TRAFINZ works under an agreed protocol with Local Government New Zealand
with a clear brief to make a significant difference in terms of government policy and
regulation.
