National Land Transport Programme (NLTP) 2009-2012

Published: 27 08 2009

The national land transport programme (NLTP) contains all the land transport activities, such as public transport services and road construction and maintenance, which are expected to receive funding from the NZ Transport Agency. The NZTA is responsible for allocating funding to land transport.

NLTP 2009-2012’s primary focus is a series of targeted investments that will help to address the important challenges New Zealand faces with land transport – in particular improving the efficiency of key transport routes, improving public transport and easing severe congestion in key urban areas, upgrading important freight and tourism routes, and improving safety and access to markets, employment and areas that contribute to economic growth.
