Kia ora Tim,

On behalf of the Ministry of Transport, I acknowledge your Official Information Act request of 23 November 2021 seeking:

"Waka Kotahi's December 2018 document "Cycling Safety Action Plan - Making Cycling Safer and More Attractive, Final Progress Report December 2018" states the following on page 19 in relation to safety devices for trucks and heavy vehicles:

"The Ministry of Transport commissioned and received a report from consultants evaluating the potential costs and benefits of mandating six specific vehicle safety technologies. The report found that although three of the technologies showed potential to improve safety, data on costs and benefits for most was difficult to obtain and only one was clearly able to be recommended at this time, though others merited further investigation."

Please provide a copy of the report which was commissioned into these vehicle safety technologies."

We will endeavour to respond to your request as soon as possible, and in any event no later than 21 December 2021, being 20 working days after the day your request was received. If we are unable to respond to your request by then, we will notify you of an extension of that timeframe.

The Ministry publishes Official Information Act responses on our website when there may be wider interest in the information released. This means the information provided to you might be published after you have received it.

Ngā mihi nui,

Emma
