Background

2.2. Students must live more than a certain distance from the school -

Friday 6 September 2024
Subject: National Land Transport Plan allocations
Reason for Report
1. This paper introduces the initial funding allocations by activity class following the adoption of the National Land Transport Plan (NLTP), providing an opportunity to discuss the implications of regional allocations.
Discussion
2. The deadline for the NZTA board to adopt the NLTP was 30 August. At the time of writing, it is expected the NLTP will be published on 2 September 2024. Once published, we will have visibility of funding allocations for each activity class, along with a view of which capital projects have been funded.
3. Given the short turnaround time anticipated, staff will not have had sufficient time to develop a detailed analysis on the full impacts of the funding allocations. However, an initial view will be provided to the Committee in this workshop with a ‘first glance’ and an opportunity to discuss potential impacts and next steps.
4. Following detailed analysis, staff will bring advice back to the Committee at the December meeting, if required.
