Hamish made this Official Information request to Minister of Transport

The request was successful.

From: Hamish

Dear Minister of Transport,

In the 5th May press release titled "Govt driving the switch to electric vehicles" (https://www.beehive.govt.nz/release/govt...) the government proposes to allow Electric Vehicles to use bus lanes and high-occupancy vehicle lanes on the State Highway network and local roads.

Could I please have the advice and analysis supplied to the Minister on the expected impact to Bus Journey times and other Public Transport service levels in metropolitan areas due to this policy.

Yours faithfully,

Hamish

On behalf of Hon Simon Bridges, thank you for your email. The Minister
considers all correspondence to be important.

 

Please note that although email may increase the speed of delivery, due to
the “behind the scenes” workings of the Minister’s staff required in
responding to emails, it is not always possible to provide the kind of
speedy response users of emails may anticipate.

 

If this is a portfolio or constituent matter, your email will be responded
to in due course.

 

If you are expressing a personal view, thank you for taking the time to
write and please be assured that your comments will be noted.

 

Yours sincerely

 

Office of Hon Simon Bridges
