The Wellington Transport Alliance (WTA) is responsible for the maintenance and operations of the State Highway Network in the Greater Wellington Region.
WTA is conducting research with truck and heavy haulage drivers and is keen to better understand your attitudes towards how they operate, manage and communicate.
An independent research agency, The Navigators, is conducting the survey and is offering all participants the chance to enter a prize draw.
