Well designed policy on the planning, management and funding of the network will allow road improvements to be targeted effectively and, in the long term, ensure more efficient use of resources. |
Publication of the 2012-2015 Government Policy Statement on Land Transport Funding (GPS) in mid-2011. Contribution to the development of State highway classifications. |
Increased efficiency of national and urban networks to enhance economic activity, meet affordability needs of communities and efficient use funds more efficiently. |
| A D |
Develop and implement land transport safety and security initiatives. |
Safer Journeys, New Zealand’s road safety strategy 2010-2020, contains a range of measures that will reduce deaths and injuries on the roads, and is based on extensive research and consultation. Delivery of the strategy will bring positive safety outcomes. |
Development and implementation of action plans that deliver on Safer Journeys. |
Reduced number of deaths and serious injuries as a result of road crashes. |

Review regulation and legislation to improve transport outcomes while streamlining and simplifying processes and reducing compliance costs for transport users. |
Reviewing transport legislation, regulation and rules, including the Land Transport Management Act and Road User Charges Act will enable the Ministry to streamline processes and identify opportunities to reduce compliance costs, while also offering the potential for better transport outcomes. |
An amendment to the Land Transport Management Act to be passed by the end of 2011. An amended Road User Charges Act to be passed before June 2011. Identification of further options to simplify and streamline transport rules and legislation. |
Simplified and streamlined planning and decision-making processes, along with reduced compliance costs. |
| B |
Identify options to make the land transport revenue framework more sustainable. |
Without change, revenue levels may not be related to use levels and may not be able to meet demand for infrastructure in the medium to long term. Advice on options to improve the sustainability of the land transport revenue framework will assist the Minister in keeping transport affordable for both users and government. |
Identification of further options to improve the sustainability of the land transport revenue framework. |
Funding basis for transport infrastructure investments and use more sustainable. |
