The Strategic Investment StorySUBTITLE HERE

What is the NLTP?

The National Land Transport Programme (NLTP) allocates funds to approved organisations for land transport infrastructure and services.

The NZTA is allocated funds from the NLTP for state highway activities as well as other activities that are delivered nationally.

To be included in the NLTP, regional activities (including those concerning state highways) must be identified in regional land transport programmes (RLTPs).

We then assess all the eligible activities proposed, prioritising and programming them according to the available funding
