Given the high level of investment required, surprisingly little monitoring is undertaken of regional transportation networks to determine if planned outcomes are being achieved. Whilst Regional Councils are required to report annually on the implementation of their land transport strategy , in practice this exercise appears to be of limited value. At the request of Wellington Regional Council, a strategy for the monitoring of the Wellington regional land transport strategy has been developed. This makes use of a wide variety of information relating to the transportation network from a range of sources. Performance indicators and indices are proposed, which relate to each of the key objective areas of the strategy. The strategy defines the tasks required for the production of an enhanced monitoring report each year. Ideas are also advanced for ensuring the availability of this information to those involved in the planning of the regional transportation network.
