Regional Land Transport Programme 2009 - 2010 (2MB) - Auckland ...

What’s New in this Regional Land Transport Programme
Three region-wide Land Transport Programmes have been produced
by ARTA since being created in 2004. The LTMA 2008 now requires
ARTA to prepare a RLTP, which has a significantly wider focus than
the previous Auckland LTP.
The changes to the previous Auckland LTPs can be summarised
as follows:
> ARTA has updated its prioritisation process to take account of
the 2009 GPS.
> State highway activities are now included in the ARTA process.
> The RLTP has to include comment on police activities.
In accordance with the widened scope of the RLTP, ARTA has issued
guidelines outlining regional and national priorities for funding,
enabling local authorities and the NZTA (State highways) to submit
appropriate applications to be considered by ARTA for inclusion in
the RLTP.
Following consultation on this first RLTP, ARTA has considered
submissions, amended the document as necessary and approved a
final RLTP, which will be submitted to the NZTA. NZTA will then
consider the RLTP, and prepare a National Land Transport Programme
which will allocate funding. Any activity that is not included in the
RLTP may not be included in the NLTP, even if it is a NZTA State
highway project.

The RLTP now has a three-year time period.
This RLTP includes packages and groups of linked projects.
As this is a three-year programme and includes State highway
projects, it prioritises over 950 projects, compared to around 300
projects in each of the previous LTPs, as shown in Figure 2.3 below.
