Waka Kotahi is looking to introduce a new low-cost low-risk public transport infrastructure improvements programme on state highways in the 2024-27 National Land Transport Programme.
The amount of funding for the programme is not yet known but it is expected to be limited. It will enable us to better align state highway public transport infrastructure improvements with the Public Transport Design Guidance.
