Transport Outcomes Framework Te Anga Whakatakoto Hua mō ngā Waka

Since the Minister of Transport endorsed the Transport Outcomes Framework, the transport sector has used it to inform strategic planning, guide policy development and make investment decisions.

We are using the Transport Outcomes Framework to guide our work, in particular the Government Policy Statement for land transport, and are also helping other transport agencies embed it in their work. To support this, we have published a description of the framework giving details of its purpose and why each outcome is important.

Government Policy Statement for land transport

Over time, the Transport Outcomes Framework will help us achieve a better transport system by making government priorities clear to stakeholders, including the private sector. The outcomes should help them make investment decisions with greater confidence.

We held a series of workshops with government and transport sector stakeholders including the Transport Sector Leadership Group, which comprises the Chief Executives of government transport agencies.

The workshops and other engagement focused on:

• refining and clarifying the transport system’s purpose and 5 outcomes in the framework
• agreeing a definition of ‘mode neutrality’.

We have developed a Transport Indicators(external link) interactive online dashboard, with new data points and indicators added to the previous iteration. Where available, the data displayed for each indicator cover an 11-year period from 2009/10 to 2019/20. This new interactive online dashboard is designed to improve the presentation and accessibility of the data, and will be updated annually. Please note that the time periods vary between indicators. Some indicators cover periods where transport patterns were severely disrupted by COVID-19, which should be taken into account when interpreting the data.
