39733 (2026). Tangi Utikere to the Minister of Transport: What value or score was recorded for each input variable used in the New Zealand Transport Agency's methodology for setting normal funding assistance rates for the 2027-30 National Land Transport Programme, broken down by approved organisation and by input variable?

Hon Chris Bishop: I am advised that the value or score for each input variable is assigned through operation of NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi (NZTA)'s model. This model is available on NZTA’s website here: https://nzta.govt.nz/partners/planning-and-investment/planning-and-investment-knowledge-base/202730-nltp-investment-requirements/202730-nltp-funding-assistance-rates-2/funding-assistance-rates-for-the-2027-30-national-land-transport-programme-2
