Arataki is being developed as a shared sector view of how we need to plan, develop, and invest in the land transport system during the next 30 years. This version of Arataki provides a strong foundation for us to have ongoing conversations with our partners and others to co-create the plan. Arataki provides direction that will guide how we'll work together during the next 30 years to deliver the future land transport system needed to keep Aotearoa New Zealand moving. 
 
As a foundation, Arataki uses the Transport outcomes framework from Te Manatū Waka Ministry of Transport. This framework sets long-term outcomes for the transport sector to work towards.  
 
Arataki then applies a three-part conceptual framework to:  

  • understand the challenges the system faces  
  • apply an outcomes-led strategic approach  
  • provide clear direction towards a transport system that improves wellbeing and creates great places to live.

Arataki September 2023 v1.1 updates the March 2023 release to reflect the severe weather events of 2023 and make minor corrections throughout the content. Fifteen new information layers were also added to the Arataki maps along with changes to three existing layers. More detail about these layers is outlined in the Arataki methodology.
