Normal funding assistance rates (FAR) apply to all approved organisations for most activities. Exceptions are other FARs for specific activities, or targeted enhanced funding assistance rates.
In November 2020 Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency undertook a thorough review of the FAR model for the last three National Land Transport Programme periods. The review identified that some of the data sets used in the 2018-21 FARs model were not the most current available at the time. This resulted in changes in the 2018-21 FARs for 17 approved organisations.
The tables below set out the updated normal FARs for approved organisations.
