The National Land Transport Programme (NLTP) is a three-year programme that sets out how Waka Kotahi, working with its partners, invests national land transport funding to create a safer, more accessible, better connected and more resilient transport system to keep New Zealand moving.
National Land Transport Programme
The NLTP sets out activities that can receive funding from the National Land Transport Fund (NLTF) under the Land Transport Management Act 2003. The NLTP must give effect to the Government Policy Statement on land transport (GPS). Regional Land Transport Plans (RLTPs) developed by local government must also be consistent with the GPS. For projects to be included in the NLTF and to be eligible for funding a project must be included in the RLTP.
Government Policy Statement on land transport
Activity classes are defined in the Government Policy Statement on land transport (GPS) and are used to provide Waka Kotahi with direction on funding allocations for types of investment. The activity classes are high-level groupings of outputs, eg walking and cycling improvements, local road maintenance.
Activity classes and work categories are groupings of similar outputs from investments through the NLTP. There is a Walking and Cycling Activity Class. Activities that deliver similar outputs are grouped into work categories which help track expenditure by each category and type of output.
Investment proposals must identify the correct activity classes and work categories as part of the NLTP inclusion and funding approval process.
Further information on funding of walking and cycling improvements within the 2021–24 NLTP is provided in the Waka Kotahi Planning and Investment Knowledge Base.
