Transport modes such as walking and cycling, including cycling to school, could play a key role in combating obesity, climate change and traffic congestion as well as restoring ‘social capital’ within communities.

Trip generation, parking demand, modal split and travel activity related to different land uses are fundamental information for transportation planning and land use planning, now and in the future.

As part of the management of the land transport system of New Zealand, a study of land transport pricing policies, with particular emphasis on road pricing, has been carried out.

The vehicle-ownership forecasting model research project, undertaken in 1996–1997, is described.

A research project was undertaken in 1999/2000 to review international evidence on user valuations of the individual components of public transport journeys, for use in forecasting the demand for and evaluating user benefits of public transport impro…

This project involved market research among motorists in New Zealand to establish unit behavioural values of travel time savings under a range of conditions, for application in the evaluation of transport projects.

This research reviewed the literature on traffic growth prediction in New Zealand and overseas, surveyed local traffic growth forecasting practice in New Zealand, reviewed the traffic growth procedures in the Project Evaluation Manual, and attempted …

The key objectives of this research were to identify the contribution that urban public transport (PT), which is generally considered safer than travel by light motor vehicles, can make to the Safe System approach, and to develop an implementation pl…

There is an increased use of public transport among Generation Y compared with previous generations, but there is limited information on the specific factors related to this trend and whether demand is temporary, sustained, or growing.

A review of the values of travel time savings used for the evaluation of road projects in New Zealand and incorporated in the 1991 Transit New Zealand Project Evaluation Manual was undertaken, largely in 1992.
