Request for Metropolitan rail: external benefits and optimal funding Report
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,
Today the Stuff news site had a story titled "Government-funded report advocated cheaper Wellington rail fares - but it was never published" (https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/1022791...). This story was based on a NZTA report called "Metropolitan rail: external benefits and optimal funding", The story claimed the report "evaluated optimal subsidies for rail in Wellington and Auckland" and it was "released last month under the Official Information Act".
1) Can I have a copy of the Metropolitan rail: external benefits and optimal funding Report referred to in this story ?
2) Can I have a copy of the report Terms of Reference and/or letter of engagement and/or other information that outlined the purpose and deliverables of this report when it was commissioned ?
3) Can I have a copy of the supporting calculations from the report consultants that "found rail fares in Wellington should be subsidised by between 55 and 100 per cent, and that the "average" fare should be about $1.70" ?
4) Can I have a copy of the "internal peer review" of the report referred to in the story ?
If this information is held in electornic form, I would prefer it was provided in its complete and original electronic format.
Yours faithfully,
Tony Randle
