Planning & Investment Knowledge Base

Activity classes & work categories

Activity classes are defined in the Government Policy Statement on Land Transport and are used by the Minister to provide direction to the Transport Agency on the level of funding to be allocated to various types of land transport investment. The Transport Agency structures the National Land Transport Programme around the activity classes.
Work categories are accounting classifications that, in the main, group together activities that deliver similar outputs. This enables expenditure to be tracked over time by output type and to make cost comparisons between organisations and regions.

Monitoring and reporting on investments

Public funding provides for nearly all land transport services and infrastructure in New Zealand – and we’re accountable to New Zealanders for how we invest in that funding. This means closely monitoring costs and showing that services and infrastructure we’ve invested in fulfil their intended purpose and deliver their expected outcomes and benefits.
This section of the Planning &Investment Knowledge Base provides information about the different activities of Transport Agency's investment monitoring activities.
