RoadSafe Auckland is a region-wide road safety group convened by the Auckland Regional Transport Authority (ARTA). It is made up of representatives from the Auckland Regional Council, ARTA, Auckland’s seven territorial authorities, Land Transport New Zealand, New Zealand Police, Transit New Zealand, Accident Compensation Corporation, Auckland Regional Public Health Service, SafeKids, and the Ministry of Health.

The RoadSafe Auckland group was established in 1991 by the Auckland Regional Council to provide improved multi-agency coordination of road safety activity within the region. It has overseen the development and implementation of a range of road safety activities primarily guided by a succession of regional plans that have outlined priority areas, strategies and performance measures.
