The Ministry of Transport is leading the policy on transitioning the petrol fleet to Road User Charges (RUC).
All road users contribute to the costs of maintaining, operating, and improving our transport network. Petrol vehicle owners contribute through fuel excise duty paid at the pump, while diesel, heavy and electric vehicle owners pay through RUC.
Have any ideas on what the future RUC system might look like or what we need to consider?
Share your ideas either by using the form below or emailing ruc@transport.govt.nz.
Your feedback will help inform policy work on the RUC transition.
Making a submission to the Select Committee
The Government introduced the Land Transport (Revenue) Amendment Bill in November 2025. The Bill makes changes to the RUC system and the framework for tolling to ensure both tools continue to support a user-pays basis for funding land transport.
If you wish to make a submission on the Bill, you can do so via the Select Committee(external link).
