NZ Transport Agency Statement of intent 2013–2016

This Statement of intent (SoI) sets out an approach and course of action for the next three years that will contribute to the delivery of the government's land transport objectives and wider transport vision. It includes performance measures and what is intended to be measured (and how) and details of what is expected to be accomplished. The document also includes full financial statements. The SoI is a statutory compliance document.

National Land Transport Fund investment indicators

Maximising return for New Zealand – investing in land transport

To ensure that the NZTA continues to prudently invest National Land Transport Fund (NLTF) funds, in output classes where our approved organisations partners deliver the goods and services, we monitor a range of investment indicators. These indicators help us to tell the story of our investment performance and complement the performance measures contained within the MOFAS output class.

National Land Transport Programme – investment indicators


Key to the following tables

Value for money Service quality Customer satisfaction

Public transport

Output class Public transport

Generic: number of passengers using urban public transport services (bus, train and ferry) * 132m-138m 141m-147m 148m-154m 2015/16 forecast dependent on development of NLTP
Public transport boardings per NLTF $ invested on public transport services (including track access charges) $0.50-$0.52 $0.51-$0.53 $0.53-$0.56
Fare revenue as a % of total expenditure ** 45% >47% >47%

* Key operating assumption
** The number of PT boarding’s per NLTF $ invested is a measure of yield on public transport from NLTF investment
