The Government is interested in the development of retail services that would provide a modern, easy-to-use way for people to pay their road user charges as an alternative to the current, largely manual payment system.

Retail Services includes any service that supports the purchase, measurement, or management of RUC.

To do this, the Government has released a Request for Information to seek information from interested participants to help shape the policy, legislative and regulatory settings for a RUC system that applies to all vehicles in New Zealand.

They can see opportunities for the road transport industry in participating in the RUC retail market.

The Request for Information (RFI) is open until 12 December 2024, and the documents can be found on the GETS website here.
