The problem we solve

Investment promises benefits; without measurement, no one knows whether they landed — and the next funding round has no evidence to build on. Benefits claimed in a business case mean little until something checks whether they actually showed up.

TTAP turns claimed benefits into evidence: a monitoring and evaluation plan to NZTA's Benefits Management Framework, the field data to measure against it, and the reporting and dashboards that make the result visible.

What's included

  • Benefits management & monitoring plans
  • KPI / KRA development
  • Traffic counts & vehicle classification
  • Before/after & post-implementation review
  • Performance reporting
  • Power BI dashboards

What you get

  • Benefits management and monitoring plans (NZTA framework)
  • KPI / KRA development
  • Traffic counts and vehicle classification (MetroCount / tube)
  • Before-and-after and post-implementation review
  • Ongoing performance reporting against objectives
  • Power BI dashboards

How we work

  1. 01

    Define benefits & KPIs

    We set the benefits, KPIs and KRAs to NZTA's Benefits Management Framework so there's a clear measurement target.

  2. 02

    Measure

    We collect the data — traffic counts and classification, field instruments, and the relevant network metrics.

  3. 03

    Evaluate

    We run the before/after and post-implementation analysis to test whether the benefits actually landed.

  4. 04

    Report & feed back

    We report performance against objectives, with dashboards that keep the result visible and feed the next investment round.

Standards

  • NZTA Benefits Management Framework
  • NZTA monitoring & evaluation guidance

Tools

  • Power BI
  • Before/after statistical analysis

Frequently asked

When should a monitoring plan be set up?

Ideally at business-case stage, alongside the benefits — because a clean "before" baseline is much harder to recover once the project is built. We can also set up monitoring retrospectively, but the earlier the better.

Do you collect the field data yourselves?

Yes — we deploy traffic counters and vehicle classifiers (MetroCount / pneumatic tube) in the field, including on the residential streets that matter, not just the arterials, so the data reflects the real network.

Can you build a dashboard so we can see performance over time?

Yes. We build Power BI dashboards so performance against objectives is live and reusable, rather than a one-off report that's out of date the day it's printed.
