User guides for TIO are available in TIO.
End-of-year carryover
TIO will automatically carry over the unspent allocation every year. Therefore, it is vital that approved organisations and Waka Kotahi (for its own activities) declare the unused allocation for completed projects by making a cost-scope adjustment via the reviews module in TIO.
