A review of the NZ Transport Agency's current performance monitoring framework has tested the limitations of historic performance measures and introduced a fleet of new ones. The Transport Agency and its transport providers use performance indicator analysis and levels of service reporting to help with their investment decisions, assessment of network performance and the achievement of past investments against target. Accurate reporting on the performance of road networks supports decision-making by: 1.1 detecting and monitoring trends to show the health of an authority's road network (whether it is in good shape or at risk) and to validate whether work programmes are appropriate 1.2 enabling benchmarking and relative comparisons between similar networks to assess the relative cost effectiveness of investment programmes and to set benchmark targets 1.3 informing the development of investment programmes that reflect and respond to the socio-economic and population characteristics of an authority's area, the number of vehicles using its networks, and other factors affecting the levels of service it provides.
