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 D1 Police activities

D1.4 Liaison group, clusters and current allocations for police activities

Road Policing Programme liaison group

The Road Policing Programme liaison group meets on a monthly basis. The group is chaired by the NZTA and has representatives from the NZ Police and Ministry of Transport. It is used as a forum for consulting on the development of the Road Policing Programme.

Clusters

The NZTA will use clustering of territorial authorities for purposes of planning, delivering and reporting on road policing activities.

Clustering allows for greater alignment between the distribution of NZ Police resources and the delivery of police activities, and combinations of activities. This allows a more flexible and integrated enforcement response to address risk and to achieve better outcomes and enhanced reporting within the cluster as identified by:

  • road safety action plans (RSAPs)
  • network safety coordination (NSC) projects
  • risk targeted patrol plans (RTPPs).

Current allocations for police activities

The current allocations for police activities are shown in the current NLTP by work category and territorial authority area - available here.

Further detail on police activities, and combinations of activities, funded from the NLTF is in the Road policing programme published by the NZ Police and available at www.police.govt.nz/service/road/.

This includes:

  • road safety management framework
  • outcomes
  • performance measures
  • road policing strategy
  • resource allocations
  • policing structure.
