Assessing Progress - National Rail Strategy

Strategic Directions to 2015 Cont.

Table 2 sets out key results and indicative performance indicators that will allow progress towards achieving the Strategy's national rail objectives and key priorities to be assessed. The Ministry of Transport will develop final performance indicators, including baseline measures and, where practicable, the development of targets and timeframes for the level of change sought. Additional indicators may also be developed. To the extent practicable, all indicators will be SMART (specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, and timebound).

Regular monitoring and review will be undertaken to ensure progress is made. This will help to inform future development of the Strategy. Key results and performance indicators and the entire Strategy will be reviewed at intervals of not less than three years and not more than five years.

Responsibility for implementing the Strategy rests with a number of agencies across the government rail sector and will be reflected in their accountability, but more broadly it is a whole-of-government responsibility. The Ministry of Transport will have overall responsibility for leading monitoring and reviewing progress. The Ministry may also support regional councils in preparing their regional land transport strategies to ensure the priorities and initiatives contained in the Strategy are carried through to the regional level.
