NLTP - National Land Transport Programme

2008/09 National Land Transport Programme

The Authority’s Land Transport Programme (ALTP): The road policing programme for 2008/09

The Road Policing Programme for 2008/09 has been prepared by Land Transport NZ and approved by the Minister of Transport in accordance with the Land Transport Management Act, except for a provision which has been retained while salary negotiations continue.  A package of new initiatives focussing on road safety for the 2008/09 year targets specific performance enhancements which improve the Police’s ability to address driver behaviours and specific locations which are demonstrating high social cost caused by crashes in comparison with the policing resources available in those areas. The initiatives are aligned with the Road Safety to 2010 Strategy, in particular drink-driving and speed enforcement.  The 2008/09 programme is funded from the National Land Transport Fund (NLTF) at a level of $272.840 million, and funding for the RPP portion of the NZ Police wage and salary agreement is likely to be approved subject to negotiations. Further detail, including activity descriptions and funding levels is contained in the RPP section of this NLTP and the full RPP can be viewed at http://www.police.govt.nz/resources.
