Data standard timeline

The AMDS RCA Data Standard Working Group was recently created to review and validate the standard each cycle. This means we are engaging with the users of the standard and ensuring the standard is fit for purpose for operating environments. Many thanks to the participation from the following sector representatives: Auckland Transport, State Highways RCA, Transport Services, Waka Kotahi Data Management Team, Department of Conservation, RATA, Waikato District Alliance, Masterton District Council, Nelson City Council and Christchurch City Council.

We are continuing to work with transport sector SMEs from Downer, Fulton Hogan, WSP, Higgins and Waka Kotahi to accelerate the development of the standard.
