Overview

The Ministry of Transport is consulting on a draft of its Long-term Insights Briefing for 2025, which focuses on moving people in 2055. We welcome any feedback on the draft, and in particular are seeking views on:

• The trends we’ve identified as being most important for the land transport system
• Our use of the National Transport Modelling or ‘Monty’ tool, including possible future applications
• The findings from our two scenarios.

You can download the consultation document here. You can also find a summary of the Briefing’s findings here.

Consultation closes at 5pm on 6 August 2025.

What is a Long-term Insights Briefing (LTIB)?

The Public Service Act (2020) requires government departments to publish a Long-term Insights Briefing at least once every three years.

Long-term Insights Briefings are designed to be ‘think pieces’ on the future, providing information about medium and long-term trends, risks and opportunities that may affect Aotearoa New Zealand. They give effect to the Public Service’s stewardship responsibilities and are not government policy.
