The review process is a recurring issue raised by the groups that have appeared before the committee. The NTA has a particular policy statement in the strategy indicating it will start the review, particularly of light rail, in areas including the south west. Is there a mechanism to identify early on how the initiatives are working and to examine population shifts in the first year or two of the plan? This could show that volumes are at a level that would allow the NTA to move to light rail for some areas, Rather than setting the examination at the end of four years, can we not do some continual assessment?
