I/V w/ Julie-Anne Genter, Associate Minister for Transport: January 16, 2019

Earlier this week the goverment announced 20 million dollars to go toward making certain rural highways safer. It is part of the Safety Boost Programme which makes regional state highways safer through a range of low-cost safety improvements. This particular announcement will upgrade 670km across 11 rural state highways. Julie-Anne Genter, Associate Transport Minister, made the announcement and Lillian Hanly spoke with her to find out more about NZ’s car culture and safety on roads. Lillian started by asking what this 20 million dollars will do specifically.
