Roads improved evaluation procedures as

perceptions and likely impacts of road
sealing projects on the regional and
national economies. This was undertaken
through a survey of businesses and users
on a recently sealed major tourist route,
and a before-and-after survey of a
secondary route. In the former case, it
was concluded that the major change had
been a mode shift (previously many
tourists had left their rental cars and
travelled by bus) while in the latter case,
there was evidence of increased travel to
the region served by the route. In both
cases there was assessed to be a
significant benefit to users over and
above that previously counted in project
evaluations. Transit NZ subsequently
decided to accelerate the sealing of all
significant tourist routes.
