National Land Transport Programme
The NZ Transport Agency will release details of a multi-billion dollar investment in New Zealand’s land transport
network on Thursday morning (27 August).
NZTA will publish the 2009/12 National Land Transport Programme (NLTP) at midday on Thursday, outlining planned
investment in land transport activities across the country over the next three years. The NLTP invests in a range of
projects in all regions.
The new three-year timeframe for the NLTP allows for investments with a longer-term view, and allows local government
and the wider land transport sector to plan ahead with increased confidence.
The preparation of the NLTP has been informed by 16 regional transport committees and the Auckland Regional Transport
Authority (ARTA) developing and submitting regional land transport programmes outlining activities to be prioritised for
NLTP funding.
NLTP documents, Q and regional media releases will be available on the NZTA website from midday Thursday, at www.nzta.govt.nz.
NZTA Board Chair Brian Roche will present the 2009/12 NLTP at a launch event at the Michael Fowler Centre in Wellington
at 11am on Thursday. Transport Minister Steven Joyce will also speak at the launch.
