Temporary traffic management credentials framework

The issue 

The long-standing Code of Practice for Temporary Traffic Management is replaced by the New Zealand Guide to Temporary Traffic Management (NZGTTM). The NZGTTM does not include a training system, enabling the industry to develop a training and competency framework that addresses the unique needs of the TTM sector and its diverse workforce, particularly Māori, Pasifika, and Women.  

Intended outcomes 

Strategic Objectives Achieved:  

• A comprehensive understanding of international and national best practices in TTM and other vocational training systems 
• Identify effective strategies, structures, and components that can be adapted to the New Zealand context, focusing on priority groups such as Māori, Pacific peoples, and women 
• Establishment of a solid knowledge base for the TTM Credentials Framework Governance Group, guiding the development of the future TTM Credentials Framework in relation to the priority groups 
• Alignment with the Statement of National Education and Learning Priorities (NELP) & Tertiary Education Strategy (TES) Objective 4, the “Future of Learning and Work”.  
• Significant Differences Experienced by the User Community:  
• Access to a well-researched and evidence-based foundation for developing the TTM Credentials Framework, leading to improved training, competency, and safety outcomes for the industry 
• Informed decision-making in developing the TTM Credentials Framework, ensuring it caters to the needs of priority groups such as Māori, Pasifika, and women 
• Enhanced industry collaboration through the involvement of industry organisations in the research project and the subsequent development of the TTM Credentials Framework.  

The steps 

• Step 1: Literature review 
• Step 2: Engagement – interviews and focus groups with stakeholders 
• Step 3: Final report  

Project expected delivery date: October 2023
