The NZGTTM's risk-based approach requires a new way of thinking and working to keep everyone safe on our roads, and we understand it will take time to embed. As the RCA for Auckland’s local and arterial road network, AT is committed to supporting the industry through the change.  

To provide an update on AT’s journey to NZGTTM and an opportunity to ask questions, we will be holding a series of webinars. 

Webinar One – Introduction to NZGTTM

• overview of work towards transition to date
• expected next steps
• proposed topics for future webinars 
• Q and A

Date - Thursday 23 October 

Time – 10:00am – 11:00am

The TTM Transformation Programme team conducted knowledge sessions on NZGTTM at Customer Central.

NZGTTM is a new guide to Temporary Traffic Management developed by Waka Kotahi that will replace CoPTTM in the next two years. This guide will replace CoPTTM's prescriptive set of rules with a more flexible set of guidelines that prioritizes planning and risk management. This is a significant change in the practice of TTM in New Zealand. 

To ensure a smooth transition for AT, new systems and processes are being developed. The first step is to provide our teams with a solid understanding of NZGTTM. To achieve this, we partnered with Dave Tilton from Parallax to deliver insightful knowledge sessions. These sessions covered the rationale behind the transition from CoPTTM to NZGTTM, explored the differences between NZGTTM and CoPTTM, and discussed the changing landscape. During the workshop, teams learned about the contrast between a compliance-based TTM approach and a risk-based approach. The discussion allowed for a better understanding of how TTM might look in New Zealand over the next few years and the potential impact. 

The sessions have been insightful and engaging, receiving great feedback. The TTM Transformation team will continue to engage with AT teams to develop other specialized knowledge sessions that will help AT transition to the risk-based approach. 

The TTM industry co-design Discovery Workshops were designed to facilitate planning for a collaborative transition to risk-based TTM. Industry representatives embraced the need to transition to NZGTTM in Auckland with many insights into the opportunities and barriers that need to be accounted for identified. After the workshop, attendees received a summary of the collective inputs and ideas raised. 

Subgroups were identified for the next workshop with specific topics marked for further exploration -

• Co-design a list of tasks or workstreams that are needed to transition to a risk-based approach.
• Share the progress made by each subgroup and journey so far.
• Determine who will lead the delivery of each task.
• Clarify the role of AT in facilitating or driving the process.
