This page relates to the 2018-21 National Land Transport Programme.
Work category 003 provides for the preparation and improvement of land transport activity management plans, regional public transport plans, road safety action plans and procurement strategies.
Examples of qualifying activities include, but may not be limited to:
including:
You can discuss with Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency whether other potential activities not listed above might also be eligible for inclusion in this work category.
CloseWork category 003 excludes:
The usual funding assistance rate (FAR) is:
Waka Kotahi expects approved organisations and Waka Kotahi (state highways):
Waka Kotahi will review new and improved AMPs and provide comments to the responsible organisation.
Approved organisations and Waka Kotahi (state highways) should base their transport network asset and activity management plans on the National Asset Management Steering (NAMS) Group’s International infrastructure management manual(external link).
Public infrastructure investment includes the following activities:
Consideration should be given to:
While the NAMS Group manual provides general guidance for asset and activity management plans, Waka Kotahi expects a land transport AMP to include the following matters:
Waka Kotahi expects approved organisations and Waka Kotahi (state highways) to maintain the following priorities in their plans:
Only when approved organisations and Waka Kotahi (state highways) have complete confidence in these elements should they consider moving onto advanced predictive methods of long-term planning.
ClosePerformance prediction modelling can be used to assist the forecasting needed for forward-looking activities. Modelling of future conditions must be adapted to local conditions due to the complex range of:
Even with local calibration, performance prediction modelling is not definitive. Forecasts of pavement condition and estimates of life-cycle costs must recognise the limitations of the many assumptions involved.
CloseA RPTP is prepared by an approved organisation with the functions, powers and duties of a regional council. Section 124(a)(ii) of the Land Transport Management Act(external link) requires regional councils to be satisfied that their RLTPs are prepared in accordance with any relevant guidelines issued by Waka Kotahi.
Waka Kotahi has prepared a comprehensive set of guidelines for the preparation of RPTPs and supplement(external link).
A RSAP is a tool for coordinating the implementation of inter-agency road safety strategies. The plans are an effective tool to integrate activities that minimise road trauma and can be used to support applications for funding projects and programmes.
Local government agencies are the identified organisations that prepare and manage RSAPs. Partners participating in their improvement include approved organisations, Waka Kotahi, NZ Police and the Accident Compensation Corporation (ACC).
RSAPs must be developed from an inter-agency perspective and contain:
Regular RSAP meetings enable monitoring of service delivery and progress towards the achievement of outcomes.
CloseSpeed management plans are one of the tools to address safety issues on a road.
Speed management plans detail engineering improvements and speed limit change proposals for ensuring speed is managed to be appropriate for the road function, design, safety, use and the surrounding environment. Its primary purpose is to encourage road users to travel at a speed that is safe and appropriate to the road. Lower speeds or physical improvements such as median barriers will also reduce the severity of a crash should it occur.
The Road to Zero action plan for 2020-2022 requires Waka Kotahi and road controlling authorities to develop speed management plans.
From 2021, the action plan requires road controlling authorities to work collaboratively with their regional transport committee and Waka Kotahi to produce regional speed management plans, setting out speed management reviews and safety infrastructure treatments across local roads and state highways in the region. These plans will align with the land transport planning process and will be also be developed every three years.
A national speed management plan setting out speed management reviews and safety infrastructure treatments, including safety camera proposals for all roads, will be compiled from the regional speed management plans.
All activities funded from the National Land Transport Fund must be procured according to the procedure set out in the Waka Kotahi Procurement manual. Each approved organisation and Waka Kotahi (state highways) is required to have a procurement strategy, which is endorsed by Waka Kotahi.
Procurement strategies need to be reviewed periodically to ensure they contain up-to-date information on an organisation's procurement plan and to reflect changes in the Procurement manual as well as in the organisation's capability and requirement to employ advanced procurement procedures.
Applications for funding for the preparation or improvement of plans under this work category must provide terms of reference for the Waka Kotahi approval.
The minimum information the terms of reference must cover for the application, is:
Waka Kotahi must approve any change of scope from the approved terms of reference before the approved organisation or Waka Kotahi (state highways) may authorise a professional services supplier to proceed.
Waka Kotahi will check the coverage and outputs of plans against their agreed terms of reference.
Waka Kotahi expects approved organisations and Waka Kotahi (state highways) to have an improvement programme for their plans.
The improvement programmes should address issues arising from:
The improvement programme must ensure that the plans provide a robust and realistic rationale for future programmes.
