39350 (2024). Tangi Utikere to the Minister of Transport: Does the Government have strategies to ensure that the investment in public transport services and operations will lead to sustainable improvements and growth in public transport usage across New Zealand?

Hon Simeon Brown: I refer the Member to page 14 of the Government Policy Statement on land transport 2024, which outlines my expectation that funding for public transport services will achieve the expected outcomes of less congestion and increased patronage: https://www.transport.govt.nz/assets/Uploads/Government-Policy-Statement-on-land-transport-2024-FINAL.pdf
