How Land Transport NZ is funded

Land transport funding comes from road user charges, a dedicated portion of fuel excise tax, and motor vehicle registration and licensing fees. This income goes into the National Land Transport Fund, a dedicated land transport fund within the government’s accounts. A portion is used for road policing by NZ Police. Another portion is allocated for collection and refund of land transport revenue. The remainder goes into the National Land Transport Account, which is managed by Land Transport NZ and allocated through the NLTP.

In recent years, land transport funding has been supplemented by grants from Crown funds presented by government for specific regional projects.
