APPENDIX 1: AUCKLAND<br />

RLTP’S LEGISLATIVE REQUIREMENTS<br />

The <strong>Auckland</strong> <strong>Regional</strong> <strong>Land</strong> <strong>Transport</strong> <strong>Programme</strong> is a document<br />

required under the <strong>Land</strong> <strong>Transport</strong> Management Act (LTMA) 2003, to<br />

be prepared every three years by ARTA seeking funding from the<br />

NZTA. ARTA prepares a land transport programme known as the<br />

<strong>Auckland</strong> RLTP covering all transport activities undertaken by<br />

<strong>Auckland</strong> local authorities, NZTA HNO and ARTA.<br />

The NZTA must give effect to the GPS in developing the NLTP and<br />

take account of the GPS when approving project funding. The GPS<br />

sets funding ranges for 16 different activity classes. The activity class<br />

ranges, together with the GPS targets, will guide NZTA’s funding<br />

decisions. The GPS also requires the land transport sector to make<br />

best use of resources by achieving value for money.<br />

In preparing the <strong>Auckland</strong> RLTP ARTA must:<br />

1. Include a statement of its view of land transport priorities<br />

(including the priorities of other Approved Organisations) for the<br />

<strong>Auckland</strong> region. In preparing this statement of priorities, ARTA:<br />

><br />

><br />

Must take into account the ten-year financial forecasts of the<br />

land transport expenditure of the NZTA, <strong>Auckland</strong> territorial<br />

authorities, and<br />

Must be satisfied that the priorities contribute to its objective,<br />

including its social and environmental responsibilities, and<br />

contribute to the following goals:<br />

> Assisting economic development.<br />

> Assisting safety and personal security.<br />

> Improving access and mobility.<br />

> Protecting and promoting public health.<br />

> Ensuring environmental sustainability.<br />

It must also include all significant expenditure from sources other<br />

than NZTA.<br />

2. Take into account how each activity or activity class contributes<br />

to the goals listed above.<br />

3. Take into account any current National <strong>Land</strong> <strong>Transport</strong> Strategy<br />

and the National Energy Efficiency and Conservation Strategy.<br />

4. Give effect to the matters in the <strong>Auckland</strong> RLTS, unless it is<br />

required to do otherwise by operational considerations that<br />

affect the sequencing and timing of activities, the funding<br />

available to it, or its statutory functions or powers.<br />

5. Consider the needs of persons who are transport-disadvantaged.<br />
