Process and considerations

• Regional Councils will forward final RLTP A regional land transport plan, prepared under Part 2 of the LTMA, as from time to time amended or varied. via Transport Investment Online by the date set by the NZTA
• RLTPs Regional land transport plans, prepared under Part 2 of the LTMA, as from time to time amended or varied. will consist of an assessment of the RLTP A regional land transport plan, prepared under Part 2 of the LTMA, as from time to time amended or varied. and a list of activities, some of which will have been prioritised by the Regional Transport Committee (RTC A regional transport committee established under section 105 or clause 11 of schedule 7 of the LTMA. )
• the RTC A regional transport committee established under section 105 or clause 11 of schedule 7 of the LTMA. , with NZTA regional support, is responsible for ensuring that all activities in the RLTP A regional land transport plan, prepared under Part 2 of the LTMA, as from time to time amended or varied. are eligible for inclusion and the information is complete, so there should be no need for further checking
• national programmes, to be delivered by the NZTA and the NZ Police The police of New Zealand within the meaning of the Police Act 1958. , also need to be submitted at the same time as the RLTPs Regional land transport plans, prepared under Part 2 of the LTMA, as from time to time amended or varied.
• information from Transport Investment Online will be extracted to spreadsheets as required to assist the collation, assessment and prioritisation
• the RLTPS and national programmes will be collated by the assessment workgroup and the activities in them are to be assessed using the NZTA’s Assessment Framework
• prioritisation of activities will be undertaken nationally, taking into consideration the prioritisation by RTCs and other organisations as well as accounting for regional and crown funding
• based on the availability and sources of funding, thresholds for funding approval will be identified for appropriate activity classes, and
• the exercise will also involve the establishment of programme funding levels for certain work categories within activity classes, e.g. minor improvements, and identification of groups for funding allocations.
