Core pressure
The regional transport connectivity constraints is a pressing concern for the region.
Structural drivers
Driver for connectivity. This driver exacerbates the connectivity pressure in Bay of Plenty — Te Moana-a-Toi.
Solution camps
A number of distinct positions recur in the policy debate on this issue. Each is defensible on its own terms; none is obviously correct.
Intervention for connectivity. Targeted intervention on connectivity will improve outcomes. Key moves include Policy measure 1 for connectivity; Policy measure 2 for connectivity; Implementation mechanism for connectivity. The main tensions are: Trade-off A for connectivity; Trade-off B for connectivity.
