Transfund New Zealand, often simply referred to as Transfund, was a Crown entity from 1996 to 2004 responsible for transport funding allocation. The organisation was headed by a chief executive who reported to a board, and the board was answerable to the Minister of Transport. Transfund existed for 101 months, was set up under the Fourth National Government of New Zealand, had two ministers under National and then three ministers under Labour, and was disestablished under the Fifth Labour Government of New Zealand. There were three chairpersons of the board, and two permanent plus one acting chief executive. Transfund was merged with the Land Transport Safety Authority and succeeded by Land Transport New Zealand. The outgoing board chair and chief executive were both given the respective position at Land Transport New Zealand.
