38539 (2025). Tangi Utikere to the Minister of Transport: Has the Government set a target year for the full transition of all light vehicles to electronic road user charges, and if not, why not?

Hon Chris Bishop: A target year and approach for the full transition has not been set. The focus is on getting the system right rather than rushing the rollout.
