Transport Investment Online (TIO) is the web-based system NZTA and our investment partners use to capture and manage all activities for inclusion in the National Land Transport Programme (NLTP).
This page provides guidance for people who need to use TIO, including:
These user guides will help you complete specific tasks in TIO. They are supplementary to the help text within TIO, which guides you on what to enter into each field.
User guides for routine tasks in TIO, such as claims and end-of-year returns, are available within the TIO system at the bottom of every page.

If you’re creating or updating a NZTA project that will be submitted for the NLTP, the initial project set-up starts in SAP PPM (systems, applications and products portfolio and project management). Once the project is created in SAP PPM, the project will automatically (overnight) be created as well in TIO as SAP and TIO are connected via the interface between the 2 systems.
Once a project is added in TIO some additional fields need to be completed before funding can be approved. These fields aren’t included in SAP and focus on economic costs and benefits, and the assessment of the project against our priorities. TIO is also where you attach supporting documentation as you go through the project life cycle.
Forecasting and accruals for NZTA projects also take place in SAP PPM. Invoice approval and processing take place in AIP.
SAP user guides are available on the Highways Information Portal.
