The Road Transport Forum is pleased to announce that the RTF Conference is back for 2021 (Covid-19 restrictions permitting) – and this time we are heading to our southernmost city, Invercargill.

This year we are coordinating with the NZ Road Transport Hall of Fame – giving delegates the chance to attend both events during the one trip.

We can all be thankful that the media’s fascination with Billy Te Kahika and the wild...
Lockdowns, social distancing requirements and new protocols to follow in delivering the freight task have meant that holding workshops has been extra difficult.
The Road Transport Forum is encouraged that despite these issues, 10 Rollover Prevention workshops have been held in 2020, with around 240 participants.
