This report presents the findings of the second stage of research looking at regional transport modelling and long-term road planning.

As toll roads and other forms of road pricing become of more interest to road controlling authorities in New Zealand, the importance of providing robust forecasts of motorists’ responses to tolls increases.

This digest summarises the findings of two reports prepared as part of Transit New Zealand's transport pricing study, excluding recommendations for further research which are the subject of another document.

This research project, carried out between 1995–1997, explores the personal travel characteristics of New Zealanders that have been recorded in various household interview surveys (HIS) carried out over the last 30 years.

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.

This project developed market research techniques for deriving improved values for the unit benefit parameters specified by Transfund New Zealand for use in transport project evaluation throughout New Zealand.

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

A research project was undertaken in 2001 to analyse the patronage and cost-effectiveness impacts of nine public transport enhancement initiatives (the case studies) in three New Zealand cities (Christchurch, Wellington, Auckland).

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.
