The strategic fit assessment considers how an identified problem, issue or opportunity aligns with the NZTA’s strategic investment direction, which derives from the GPS A Government Policy Statement on Land Transport Funding issued under section 86 of the LTMA . Strategic fit ensures that the activities the NZTA invests in demonstrate the potential contribution to outcomes that are significant from a national perspective.
