This page relates to the 2018-21 National Land Transport Programme.

Introduction

Work category 131 provides for approved organisations to share the costs associated with the maintenance and renewal of rail level crossing warning devices carried out by the relevant rail track authority.

Qualifying activities

The maintenance and renewal of barrier arms and warning devices are covered under this work category. 

Qualifying activities are activities planned and programmed by the relevant rail track authority and communicated to affected approved organisations and Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency (state highways) to enable them to incorporate the activities in their local road and state highway maintenance programmes for the next National Land Transport Programme (NLTP).

Where the relevant rail track authority responds to unplanned events, or to rail level crossing deterioration occurring ahead of schedule, the costs of these activities also qualify for funding from the National Land Transport Fund (NLTF).

Funding assistance rates

Waka Kotahi expects that the relevant rail track authority and the road controlling authority will share equally the costs of maintaining and renewing rail level crossing warning devices.

Where, under a deed of grant by the relevant rail track authority, the road controlling authority is required to pay the full cost of maintenance and renewal, this cost is accepted for funding assistance from the NLTF.

The usual funding assistance rate is:

Conditions of funding

An invoice from the relevant rail track authority must back up claims for funding assistance.

Applying for funding approval

Applications for funding approval should be made through the maintenance module in Transport Investment Online(external link).
