The National Land Transport Programme (NLTP) contains all the land transport activities, such as public transport services and road construction and maintenance, which are expected to receive funding from Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency. Waka Kotahi is responsible for allocating funding to land transport.
The 2008/09 NLTP sets out the significant transport issues facing land transport and lists the transport activities that have been given funding from the National Land Transport Fund and also those that may be funded during 2008/09. It sets out forecasts of anticipated expenditure and revenue over 10 years.
Land Transport NZ has adopted the 2008/09 NLTP at a level of $2.43 billion, excluding the cost of the road policing programme (GST exclusive). In forecasting this level of expenditure, Land Transport NZ has taken account of the estimated balance in the NLTA at the end of the 2007/08 year and the expected revenue for the 2008/09 year.
In adopting the 2008/09 NLTP, Land Transport NZ is satisfied the programme contributes to its strategic objective of an integrated, safe, responsive and sustainable land transport system.
It is also satisfied the programme contributes to the objectives of the NZTS:
(a) assisting economic development
(b) assisting safety and personal security
(c) improving access and mobility
(d) protecting and promoting public health, and
(e) ensuring environmental sustainability.
Land Transport NZ has also taken into account relevant regional land transport strategies and the National Energy Efficiency and Conservation Strategy.
For 2008/09 the NLTP includes the Road Policing Programme (RPP) which is the annual programme of land transport enforcement activities delivered by NZ Police. The 2008/09 RPP is funded from the National Land Transport Fund (NLTF) at a level of $272.840 million, and a contingency for the NZ Police wage and salary agreement for the 2008/09 year will be approved once negotiations are complete.
Table 1 shows the forecast 2008/09 expenditure on the NLTP for the activity classes in the NLTP. For reference purposes the 2007/08 programme is also shown. Table 2 shows approved activities in the 2008/09 NLTP and forecast expenditure on each activity class that is not yet committed to projects or programmes.
The programme of activities included in the 2008/09 NLTP are shown in each of the 14 regional tabs, and the National tab, which lists activities delivered nationally and allocations made to activities funded through a national block allocation. The Road Policing Programme and Research Education and Training activities included in this programme are shown under separate tabs.
Activities are included because they are:
