The NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi (NZTA) Board has the responsibility of allocating funds from the National Land Transport Fund (NLTF). In making its investment decisions, our board must take account of the Land Transport Management Act 2003 (LTMA) and follow its requirements for the procurement of activities.
Read the Land Transport Management Act 2003(external link)
Under the LTMA, NZTA is responsible for allocating funds for investment in activities out of the NLTF. We use an allocation process that has been devised to take into account our Investment Prioritisation Method (IPM), the requirements placed on approved organisations and our Planning and Investment Knowledge Base.
