Planning, programming and funding manual

Published: 25 08 2008

The Planning, programming and funding manual sets out the NZTA's policies, procedures and guidance for the planning and management of land transport activities that can be funded from the national land transport fund.

This manual will guide the 2009/10–2011/12 regional land transport programmes (RLTPs) and the National Land Transport Programme (NLTP) – the first three-year transport programmes. It sets out policy and procedures for developing and managing the RLTPs and NLTP during those cycles.

The manual was also used to manage the 2008/09 NLTP.

The procedures described in this manual have been developed to assist approved organisations to prepare and plan projects and activities for which they seek funding from the NZTA, within the framework of the NZTA’s overall funding allocation process.

The Planning, programming and funding manual is also available in PDF, either as the whole document or in parts. The PDF version is the master document.

Note: The online version and PDF section for the Planning, programming and funding manual now incorporate the changes from Amendment 1 and is effective from 1 July 2009.

Chapter G13 Assessment of national education and training activities

Introduction

This chapter sets out the NZTA's method of assessment for national education and training activities.

National education and training activities are covered by:

  • activity class 16: national education and promotion
  • activity class 17: sector training and support.

Reference: See sections F12.3 and F12.4 for descriptions of the activities.

Purpose and audience

The purpose of this chapter is to provide guidance to NZTA staff who are assessing national education and training activities. It may also be useful to anyone wishing to know how such activities are assessed.

Management and delivery

National education and training activities are managed by the NZTA and mostly delivered by external providers.

Approach to assessment

National education and training activities are assessed in a similar manner to that described for road policing in Chapter G11 Assessment of police activities.

Relationship to demand management

Some national education and training activities, particularly advertising, support road policing and are a component of most travel demand management programmes. In such cases, the package will be assessed rather than the individual activities.
