Dear Michael 
 
Request made under the Official Information Act 1982 
 
Thank you for your email of 7 May 2021 requesting the following information under the Official Information Act 
1982 (the Act): 
 
1. Has NZTA has ever conducted unconscious bias surveys on its staff, including senior decision makers 
and management, to measure their attitudes towards different modes of transport?  
 
2. If so, please provide the full survey reports. 
 
In response to the first part of your request, Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency has not conducted an 
unconscious bias survey on any of its staff to measure their attitudes towards different modes of transport. 
 
As no such survey has been conducted, I am refusing the second part of your request under section 18(e) of the 
Act, as the information requested does not exist. 
 
Under section 28 of the Act, you have the right to ask the Ombudsman to review my decision to refuse your 
request. The contact details for the Ombudsman can be located at www.ombudsman.parliament.nz. 
 
If you would like to discuss this reply with Waka Kotahi, you are welcome to contact the Ministerial Services team 
at [email address].  
 
 
Yours sincerely
