Regional Land Transport Strategies (RLTSs) have a pivotal role in the funding and planning of land transport, acting as a mechanism for bringing together the various land transport interests in a region to identify problems, issues and opportunities for strategic regional land transport needs and priorities.
The Ministry has been working with Land Transport NZ, Transit NZ and regional councils to develop ways of encouraging and assisting regions to develop RLTSs that deliver on the objectives of the New Zealand Transport Strategy and the Land Transport Management Act. Regional councils have raised a number of RLTS issues with the Ministry. The Ministry is investigating possible interventions to address these issues to ensure RLTSs help to deliver the NZTS.
