Land Transport Act 1998

Land Transport Rules

In accordance with section 161(2) of the Land Transport Act 1998, the NZ Transport Agency, on behalf of the Minister of Transport, gives notice of the Minister’s intention to make a Rule that proposes amendments to Land Transport Rule: Passenger Service Vehicles 1999 (Rule 31001) (“the Rule”),
and advises that draft Land Transport Rule: Passenger Service Vehicles Amendment [2012] (Rule 31001/6) (“the amendment Rule”) is available for public comment.

The Rule specifies the minimum requirements for the design and construction of all passenger service vehicles in New Zealand.

The amendment Rule proposes changes to the Rule that are required to keep it up to date with ongoing changes in technology and industry practice.

It will improve the safety of passengers, generally reduce compliance costs for industry and will lessen the need for exemptions to be issued.

The amendment Rule will clarify the Rule in several areas and make enforcement of requirements simpler and more consistent.

A copy of the draft amendment Rule and overview may be obtained by calling the NZ Transport Agency Contact Centre on freephone 0800 699 000 or is available, together with Questions and Answers, on the website

www.nzta.govt.nz/consultation/passenger-service-vehicles-amendment

The consultation document is also available for viewing at the NZ Transport Agency’s regional offices. Groups and individuals who have registered an interest in the Rule have been advised of the availability of the consultation document for comment.

Submissions close on 4 November 2011.

For further information, contact the Rules Team, NZ Transport Agency, Private Bag 6995, Wellington 6141 or email: rules@nzta.govt.nz

Dated at Wellington this 27th day of September 2011.
