Macindoe attends International Transport Forum
Associate Transport Minister Tim Macindoe will tomorrow travel to Germany to attend the 2017 International Transport Forum (ITF) Summit of Transport Ministers.
The Summit
is being held from 31 May - 2 June and will bring together
members from approximately 57 countries to explore the
trends shaping transport governance and to identify the most
pressing challenges in the global transport sector.
“I look forward to being able to further strengthen
the connections we have with our international counterparts
and to be part of shaping the transport policy agenda on a
global level,” Mr Macindoe says.
Mr Macindoe
will be speaking on a panel focusing on the regulation
required for automated and autonomous driving.
“Among other benefits, if automated and autonomous
vehicles are adequately managed they have the potential
significantly to improve road safety and reduce road trauma
in New Zealand, so it is vital to be part of this global
discussion.
“During the panel session I will
be looking both to promote New Zealand’s regulatory
framework, which allows and encourages innovation, and to
learn from the experiences of other members.”
Mr Macindoe will also attend meetings with ministers and
technical experts from a range of countries.
