Auckland Regional Transport Authority
ARTA was launched on 1 December 2004, to help find solutions to the traffic challenges facing the rapidly growing Auckland region.
ARTA's formation signalled a shift to how Auckland regional transport was governed, and was created when the Local Government (Auckland) Amendment Act 2004 was passed. At the time this legislative change was made, the Government also committed $1.62 billion to Auckland transport over the next decade.
ARTA is a subsidiary organisation of the Auckland Regional Council (ARC), and is responsible for implementing the goals set out in the regional Land Transport Strategy. ARTA is partly funded by the ARC, Transfund and by its own internal revenues, which largely come from Auckland's passenger rail operations.
