NLTP - National Land Transport Programme

Foreword | June 2008

The National Land Transport Programme (NLTP) sets out the allocation of funds to transport activities. It lists the
activities that have already been given funding approval for 2008/09, and also those activities that may be given
funding approval during 2008/09. It also describes the significant issues facing land transport and includes a 10-
year forecast of anticipated revenues and expenditure.

The 2008/09 NLTP is similar in many ways to the prior two NLTPs because the revenue and funding guarantees
introduced by the government in May 2006 ensure stability in the funding of the NLTP and the content of the
state highway construction programme.

A record amount of $2.7 billion has been allocated for the 2008/09 year representing a 12% increase from last
year. This includes $270 million for the NZ Police, the regionally distributed funding and continued funding of the
state highway construction programme at the level supporting the agreed programme of works.

This NLTP is a transitional document. It has been developed by Land Transport NZ, and will be implemented by
the NZ Transport Agency. It has increased funding allocations for activities that support the direction of the NZ
Energy Strategy, the New Zealand Energy Efficiency and Conservation Strategy and the developing update to the
NZ Transport Strategy.
