Kia ora Mark,
Thank you for submitting your recent OIA request. We need to clarify one
of your questions.
You have asked “what is number of registered cars drivers in wellington
(based on registered vehicles)”. Could you please advise if you are
wanting to know the number of driver licences held in the Wellington
region, or the number of registered vehicles in the Wellington region?
Unfortunately, we are unable to determine how many driver licence holders
drive vehicles and where.
We look forward to being able to assist once the scope of your request
clarified. It would be great to hear back from you by COB Friday 20
December 2024.

wanting to know the number of driver licences held in the Wellington
region, or the number of registered vehicles in the Wellington region?
Unfortunately, we are unable to determine how many driver license holders

regarding this, I am trying to get a proxy for the number of active drivers in Wellington, either by vehicles registered or by licenses.
or as an alternative are there vehicle volumes available? i assume that would be close to impossible to get a measure of vehicle densities and I assume this would be difficult to normalize over the wellington region as this is a granular measure of volume and not a total volume?
Yours sincerely,
Merkil
