Quality of the data | Regional breakouts of the WoF and CoF odometer data shown here is based on the region where the vehicle was inspected, not the region where the kilometres were actually driven. An alternative source of data on regional VKTs, which does not suffer from this limitation, is the NZTA's Road Assessment and Maintenance Management (RAMM) data, which may be found at http://www.nzta.govt.nz/assets/userfiles/transport-data/VKT.html However, the RAMM data has its own limitations.
