Standard Reports show the evidence base

Local authority (LA) road network managers received their first ONRC standard reports on Friday 5 May. The reports give each LA a snapshot of their road network’s performance against their peers for ten key ONRC performance measures.

REG has produced these reports for several important reasons:

• To give road managers a communication tool to engage their councils and CEOs. We urge road managers to present your report to council to spark an informed conversation about transport planning in your district, particularly in relation to Regional Land Transport Programmes and the business case approach.

• To provide a standardised representation of the evidence base for Activity Management Plans and business cases, so that LAs across the country can access the same information, to the same standard, regardless of their individual capacity.

• To help LAs identify and illustrate their investment stories, which should be indicated in these standard reports.

The reports are based on the ONRC Performance Measures Reporting Tool information, obtained from your RAMM records, and NZTA’s Transport Investment Online information that you have provided. 

We have increasing confidence in this data and it’s exciting to see a picture of outcomes across the whole national network emerging.

Thank you to those who have provided feedback already, we encourage others to do so through the REG email address.
