This booklet is for community groups or local government staff working on transport problems in rural areas and small towns. It describes a process for identifying the cause of the problem, finding partners and selecting a solution. Solutions range from reducing or removing the need to travel by bringing services/goods into the community or using technology, making use of vehicles already in the community and coordinating existing services. The guide also covers sources of funding and legal requirements.

From 1 November 2013 the child restraint laws changed. This leaflet explains what those changes were.

The key objective of this research is to determine which factors are seen as barriers to child restraint use by New Zealand parents, and that ultimately prevent some from correctly restraining their children. Identification of these barriers will provide the evidence-base to inform and help target future interventions, such that policy interventions, education initiatives, or social media campaigns are more effective at increasing child restraint rates among non-compliant parents, as well as reducing barriers for those parents that do comply.
