NZTA launches 0800 number for vehicle safety concerns and compliance issues
The NZ Transport Agency has set up a new, independently monitored 0800 number for industry workers or members of the public to provide information or raise concerns with vehicle certification work or other compliance issues.
“0800 468 244 is free to call, anonymous and available 24/7. We encourage anyone with genuine safety concerns or information about non-compliance to report it,” NZ Transport Agency Chief Executive Fergus Gammie says.
“Safety on the roads in NZTA’s top priority - full stop.”
Concerns we want to hear about could also include, but are not limited to:
issues with warrants or certificates of fitness (WoFs or
CoFs) and the inspectors or inspecting
organisations
transport operators and their drivers not
following the relevant rules
concerns about approved
course providers not complying with the requirements of
providing education and assessment for drivers sitting a
range of licences.
concerns about heavy vehicle
certifications
“We are working hard to give New
Zealanders assurances that the vehicles they share the road
with are certified to a high standard and are safe. We are
making strong progress, but there is much more to
do.”
