The Government Policy Statement on Land Transport (GPS) sets out how money from the National Land Transport Fund (NLTF) is allocated towards achieving the Government’s transport priorities. It’s likely that GPS will also provide direction for investment of other Crown funding, such as the Climate Emergency Response Fund.
For NLTF investment, the GPS sets out ranges for funding for activities such as public transport, state highway improvements, local and regional roads and road safety — we call these activity classes. Each GPS sets out the priorities for the following 10-year period and is reviewed and updated every 3 years.
The Ministry of Transport is currently developing the next GPS, which will set the Government’s priorities for land transport for the 10-year period 2024/25–2033/34.
The work to date
GPS 2024 Update
The Government has signalled the indicative transport priorities signed off by Cabinet last year will change in the wake of Cyclone Gabrielle.
Indicative priorities for GPS 2024
Through our early engagement, stakeholders have indicated they would find it useful to see the Government’s intended strategic priorities for land transport as early as possible to inform their planning. For this reason, we are releasing the indicative priorities for GPS 2024.
Development of GPS 2024
Before we begin the development of the GPS 2024 we are seeking feedback on stakeholders’ previous experience with the GPS.
