Subject: Re: OIA-19009 REQUEST FOR CLARIFICATION

 

Dear Ministerial Services,

 

Thank you for the opportunity to clarify my request. I am interested
primarily in the establishment of NZTA’s capacity and capability to run
safety camera operations.

 

This may include:

• Capital costs (e.g. camera procurement, installation, infrastructure) •
Operating costs (e.g. maintenance, calibration, staff, offence
verification and infringement processing) • Technology and system costs
(e.g. software licensing, data storage, cybersecurity) • Public engagement
or communications campaigns • Any costs associated with programme
governance, compliance, and evaluation.

 

Yours sincerely,

 

Dale
