Te Ringa Maimoa Transport Excellence Partnership has developed Road Controlling Authority (RCA) performance reports to help decisionmakers understand transport value using metrics, ratings and scores on service performance and outcomes.
A majority of the data presented in each RCA performance report is already available in various places across the sector – but is not easily accessible or easy to understand. Each of the 68 RCA performance reports make local results and comparable evidence available in two-pages.
Publishing the RCA performance reports should lead to delivering better value in the transport sector. These reports provide a national, objective picture of transport investment and performance in a single resource. The RCA performance reports present clear and comparable data on value, and enable peer-to-peer comparisons and understanding of sector performance.
Performance results and evidence in each report are segmented into a headlines summary and eleven separate ‘zones’ – including Co-investor Assurance and Service Performance.

The RCA reports are produced annually. A static pdf version of the reports for each RCA are available below. They are also available within the Transport Insights web portal in an interactive dashboard format.
