This research explores the potential for the ‘network-planning’ approach to the design of public transport to improve patronage of public transport services in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch.

In the context of transport policy, travel time is widely treated in purely economic terms, with the key aim of 'saving' or reducing what is seen as unproductive travel time.

Since the implementation of the Land Transport Management Act 2003, public sector land transport organisations in New Zealand have had the obligation to be socially and environmentally responsible, either as one of their organisational objectives (NZ…

The effects of reducing the discount rate used in evaluations of initiatives funded from the National Land Transport Fund (NLTF) were assessed during 2007–09.

To assist in meeting climate change commitments, there is a target to reduce the per-capita greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from transport to half the 2007 levels by 2040.

This two-stage project (undertaken in 2008/2009) aims to identify and assess the impacts climate change may have on New Zealand’s land transport networks (road, rail, ports and coastal shipping), and provides recommendations, including adaptation opt…

This research provides a number of mathematical formulas for predicting the quality of the walking environment from the perspective of the user using operational and physical variables.

Exposure to elevated concentrations of road traffic air pollutants mainly occurs within a few hundred metres of major roads, or while travelling in road vehicles.

Strategic government documents emphasise the need for more integrated land use and transport planning.

Since 2000, the benefits of walking as a mode of travel have been recognised by the New Zealand government in a raft of policy statements and strategies.
