The National Transport Commission (NTC) is an Australian independent statutory body created to develop regulatory and operational reform for road, rail and intermodal transport. Under Australia’s federal system, transport policy and regulatory responsibilities span across Commonwealth, state and territory, and local governments. Differences between these regulatory systems mean that national transport operators can face inconsistent regulations, creating unnecessary inefficiency and cost. The NTC is focused on reforms which improve the productivity, safety and environmental outcomes of the Australian transport system . This has subsequently led to the development of transport regulatory policies such as Performance-Based Standards, Heavy Vehicle Driver Fatigue Reform and the Chain of Responsibility. The NTC also plays a role in implementation planning to ensure reform outcomes are relevant and effective, as well as coordinating, monitoring, evaluating and maintaining the implementation of approved reforms. Recommendations and advice are presented to the (Standing Council on Transport and Infrastructure ) (SCOTI) - comprising transport, infrastructure and planning ministers - for approval by majority vote. Based in Melbourne, Victoria, the NTC has six commissioners including a Chief Executive Officer and consists of over 40 operational staff. State and territory governments contribute 65 percent of the NTC’s funding, and the Commonwealth Government provides 35 percent.〔National Transport Commission, "A New Beginning," ''Annual Report 08'' (2008): 2.〕 ==History== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「National Transport Commission」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
