Public Transport Management Act 2008 Factsheets

The Public Transport Management Act 2008 increases the powers of regional councils to plan and manage public transport services. The Act will enable regional councils to require that all or any services in their region must be contracted or impose controls (e.g. quality and performance standards) on commercial public transport services. The Act also clarifies when a regional public transport plan is needed, what its purpose is and the process for developing a plan.

These factsheets have been designed to help guide you in interpreting the Public Transport Management Act 2008 and are still in draft format. It is important to note that these factsheets should be used for general guidance only and are not a substitute for legal advice. For more detailed information you should refer to the Act or the Regional Public Transport Plan Guidelines (published by the NZ Transport Agency) or seek a legal opinion.
