This paper discusses how the effectiveness of various strategic transport policy packages can be measured within the context of the Greater Christchurch sub-region in New Zealand. The local authorities in the Greater Christchurch area and Transit New Zealand have adopted the Greater Christchurch Urban Development Strategy (UDS) for the sub-region to address the challenges of population growth over the next 30-35 years, to 2041. But due to recent higher growth projections, concerns have been raised about the existing and currently planned transport system capability to cope with the future transport demand triggered by the land use growth. In seeking the most appropriate strategic transport policy packages, the effectiveness of various policy packages has been assessed to provide guidance on the strategic transport direction for the sub-region. This paper aims to provide an example to assess the order of the effectiveness of various key strategic transport policy packages.
