Request for the internal rules and policies for setting the NZTA FAR allocation
Tony Randle made this Official Information request to New Zealand Transport Agency
The request was partially successful.
From: Tony Randle
Dear New Zealand Transport Agency,
The NZTA recently provided a substantive response to my OIA request "Government funding increase to fix train lateness on the Wairarapa Line" (URL: https://www.fyi.org.nz/request/3035-gove...).
The initial substantive NZTA response (2 September 2015) was an NZTA Memo to the NZTA CEO titled “HUTT VALLEY LINE ON-TIME RELIABILITY – BUSINESS CASE” (dated 25 June 2015). This memo included the following recommendation:
“3. Approve an increase in investment of $2,290,000 in GWRC Work Category 515 – Passenger Rail Services at 100% FAR.”
I am interested in the NZTA public transport funding decisions in general and the decision to fund this request at 100% in particular.
1) Can I please have a copy of the NZTA FAR internal rules and policies used when RECOMMENDING the NZTA FAR percentage to be applied to public transport funding requests ?
2) Can I please have a copy of the evidence and other information that was applied to the NZTA FAR internal rules and policies that led to the RECOMMENDATION of a FAR of 100% was required in the $2.29M Hutt Valley Line On-Time Reliability” funding request ?
3) Can I please have a copy of the NZTA FAR internal rules and policies used when DECIDING the NZTA FAR percentage to be applied to public transport funding requests ?
4) Can I please have a copy of the evidence and other information that was applied to the NZTA FAR internal rules and policies that led to the DECISION to approve a FAR of 100% for the $2.29M Hutt Valley Line On-Time Reliability” funding request ?
If this information is held in electronic form, I would prefer it was provided to me in its complete and original electronic format. Also, I would prefer any and all correspondence to be via the FYI web site.
Yours faithfully,
Tony Randle
