Our National roading system is our country's largest transport asset. Ensuring that an effective system is in place to cope with our current and future needs, in an effective and business like manner, is one of the government's most important goals.
The Land Transport Pricing Study (LPTS) Plays the key role in helping us to achieve this goal. The LPTS has now reached a crucial stage. Following the extensive work of the last three years we are now in a position to move forward.
This paper, Land Transport Pricing Study: Options for the Future, builds on the decision documents released as part of the land transport pricing study, and the comprehensive response from the public submission process. It puts forward a range of options for a future pricing and regulatory framework for New Zealand's roading system.
The purpose of this paper is to seek your views on the appropriate direction for the future.
The government will be making decisions on the appropriate long-term framework for roading in late 1997. It is essential that we have a comprehensive input from the transport sector and the wider community into these decisions.
I therefore ask you to take the time to read , and carefully consider, this paper. Then, please make a submission. In making your submission, I would ask that you consentrate on our options for moving forward.
I look forward to recieving your views.
Rt Hon Jenny Shipley
