National farebox recovery policy

Published: May 2010

At its April 2010 NZTA Board meeting, the Board adopted the NZTA’s national farebox recovery policy.

The purpose of this policy is to encourage a greater focus on efficiency that may have been the case in the past, and to work with approved organisations (eg regional councils) to determine, on a case-by-case basis, what constitutes an equitable sharing of the costs between public transport users, ratepayers and road users through the NLTP, who pay for the provision of public transport services.
