ViaStrada has just completed a major discussion document for the New Zealand Transport Agency.

The document looks at ways of optimising New Zealand's road transport network. Seven themes are explored through a literature review, five overseas case studies and 30 New Zealand "best-practice" examples.  The themes are:

  1. Land Use and Transport Planning Integration
  2. Attitudinal and Behavioural Measures
  3. Optimising Traffic Operations
  4. Public Transport
  5. Walking and Cycling
  6. Freight
  7. Pricing and Charging Measures  

The full report is available on either the NZTA website or the ViaStrada website, and a summary can be found on the publications area of the ViaStrada website.
