Applications for funding approval of proposed projects should be made through the improvement activity module in Transport Investment Online(external link) (TIO). To be eligible for National Land Transport Fund (NLTF) funding, any new activity must be added to the relevant regional land transport plan and to the National Land Transport Programme (NLTP).
TIO(external link) will automatically carry over the unspent allocation every year. Therefore it is vital that approved organisations and Waka Kotahi (state highways) declare the unused allocation for completed projects by making a cost scope adjustment via the reviews module in TIO.
