The Road Efficiency Group (REG) was formed in 2012 on the recommendation of the Road Maintenance Task Force. It is a collaborative project between local government and the NZ Transport Agency.The Road Efficiency Group (REG) is a collaborative initiative by the road controlling authorities of New Zealand. Its goals are to drive value for money and improve performance in maintenance, operations and renewals throughout the country.
Its aim is to create and embed a new national funding and activity management structure for roads (the One Network Road Classification); and improve value-for-money, customer focus, consistency, collaboration, and quality in road activity management.Since the formation of REG in 2012, considerable progress has been made on a number of projects aimed at sharing perspectives and knowledge to identify opportunities to improve performance and reduce costs.
Building a more robust, effective way of working will reduce costs and encourage innovation in the management of local roads and state highways.
REG is a legacy project. It is intended that the tools and functions developed by REG will be administered by other agencies after 2018.REG was nominated by the government to carry out the recommendations of the broader Road Maintenance Task Force .
