      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.

        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.
