CHAIRMAN’S FOREWORD Following three successful Land Transport Programmes prepared by ARTA, this is the first Regional Land Transport Programme (RLTP) since the passing of the Land Transport Management Amendment Act (2008), which increased the scope, duration and importance of the programme. ARTA now prepares a prioritised programme of transport activities for the Auckland region which extends for three years and which, for the first time includes State highway activities, along with local authority activities and ARTA’s own plans and services. In this RLTP, over 950 projects, worth $4.36 billion, have been prioritised. The programme is a major milestone in the journey to deliver a fully integrated programme of transport initiatives for Auckland. In this RLTP, ARTA prioritises land transport projects for the region. This prioritisation is based on ARTA’s identification of issues facing Auckland’s transport system both now and in the future, and the process developed by the Auckland Transport Plan in ensuring effective solutions that offer value for money. The Government’s Policy Statement (GPS) for the prioritisation of funding for land transport, which came into effect on 1 July this year, has also been taken into consideration. The Government’s stated priority is for land transport investment to support national economic growth and productivity, particularly by improving journey time reliability and the easing of severe congestion. The inclusion of State highways, for the first time, has enhanced the programme’s focus on not only the importance of strengthening Auckland’s links with its neighbouring regions, with which it has close economic ties, but also the importance of producing an integrated multi-modal solution for addressing Auckland’s transport challenges. It is with pleasure that ARTA produces the first tri-annual Regional Land Transport Programme for the Auckland region. Rabin Rabindran Chairman ARTA Board i
