Road Efficiency Group Te Ringa Maimoa members are subject matter experts who volunteer their time and come from local authorities, Local Government NZ and the NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi.

A governance group and a leadership group oversee the programme. Three reference groups develop the tools and resources needed to support roading managers in maintaining their networks. A group of regional champions support roading staff.
