1.   Introduction

Community programmes (formerly known as community-focused activities) are activities taking place at the local level to promote the safe and sustainable use of the land transport system. Community programmes appear in the NZ Transport Agency's (NZTA) Planning, programming and funding manual under Activity class 2 – Demand management and community programmes.

The community programmes component provides for development and implementation, including coordination and advertising. This includes activities that encourage voluntary change in travel behaviour by providing consumer information and encouragement.

Community programmes aim to:

• encourage community participation in land transport decision-making
• assist communities to identify their land transport issues and develop their own informed decisions
• increase the community's capacity to address local transport issues
• develop and motivate local partnerships
• integrate activities at the local level
• generate insight on local transport issues and new ideas that can be further developed for wider application.
