KPMG is committed to supporting Aotearoa New Zealand’s transition to a safe, sustainable and future-ready transport system that enables a productive economy and supports accessibility. The sector is undergoing significant transformation, shaped by our changing mobility and logistics needs, population changes, digital disruption, climate imperatives, and infrastructure pressures. We work alongside central and local government, transport agencies, private operators and the construction sector to navigate this complexity and deliver better outcomes for New Zealanders and our economy.
Our work spans the full spectrum of transport challenges, including funding and financing, commercial delivery support, asset optimisation, regulatory reform, digital enablement, emissions reduction and resilience planning. We bring deep expertise in policy design, commercial strategy and programme delivery, underpinned by a strong understanding of the sector’s operational realities and long-term ambitions.
A commitment to Te Tiriti o Waitangi and equitable access to transport services underpins our approach. We support our clients to embed inclusive design, community voice and sustainability into the heart of their decision making, ensuring that the way we move people and goods across Aotearoa is fit for the future.
How we can help
We help clients across the transport system respond to complex challenges and unlock opportunities through:
We support agencies such as NZTA and Auckland Council to explore innovative funding models, assess commercial options and build robust business cases that enable investment in critical infrastructure.
We support transport agencies to design and run procurement processes to deliver public transport services or to design and deliver a major transport infrastructure project.
We support transport agencies to set themselves up for success through delivery, including designing governance and team structures. Separately, we also provide assurance over major programmes.
We help clients improve return on investment from existing assets through data-driven insights, benchmarking and operational efficiency reviews.
Our work helps organisations understand climate risks and develop futureproofed strategies aligned with national disclosure regimes.
We advise on digital transformation, cyber resilience and technology strategy to ensure transport systems are secure, scalable and responsive to user needs.
We provide strategic advice to the Ministry of Transport and other entities on monitoring frameworks, regulatory design and governance models that support better outcomes for people and place.
