Planning, programming and funding manual

Published: 25 08 2008

The Planning, programming and funding manual sets out the NZTA's policies, procedures and guidance for the planning and management of land transport activities that can be funded from the national land transport fund.

This manual will guide the 2009/10–2011/12 regional land transport programmes (RLTPs) and the National Land Transport Programme (NLTP) – the first three-year transport programmes. It sets out policy and procedures for developing and managing the RLTPs and NLTP during those cycles.

The manual was also used to manage the 2008/09 NLTP.

The procedures described in this manual have been developed to assist approved organisations to prepare and plan projects and activities for which they seek funding from the NZTA, within the framework of the NZTA’s overall funding allocation process.

The Planning, programming and funding manual is also available in PDF, either as the whole document or in parts. The PDF version is the master document.

Note: The online version and PDF section for the Planning, programming and funding manual now incorporate the changes from Amendment 1 and is effective from 1 July 2009.

Chapter C12 Preparing a regional land transport programme

C12.10 Police activities and the RLTP: inputs

Introduction

This section describes the inputs that the NZTA suggests be taken into account when assessing the relationship of police activities or combination of activities with the RLTP. Specific considerations for the assessment are set out in section C12.11.

Legislative requirements

An RLTP must contain an assessment of the relationship of police activities or combinations of police activities with the RLTP.

Legislation: LTMA s16(2)(b) and s16A(2)(b).

Safety and personal security performance

The assessment of the RLTP should consider the safety and personal security performance of:

  • the region and the territorial authority areas or clusters within the region
  • neighbouring regions.

Meeting targets, strategies and plans

The assessment of the RLTP should consider:

  • regionalised GPS targets, particularly for road safety
  • the current National Road Safety Strategy
  • the current NZ Police Road Policing Strategy
  • relevant RLTSs
  • other strategies in the region with relevance for road policing
  • road safety action plans (RSAPs) and network safety coordination (NSC) projects in place or proposed for the region.

Level of police resources

The assessment of the RLTP should consider the level of police resource:

Impact of planned changes

The assessment of the RLTP should consider planned changes to land transport in the region that are likely to have impacts on police activities.
