Waikato Regional Land Transport Plan (RLTP) 2021-2051

PS 2020/22

Image - cover of RLTP document The 2021 Regional Land Transport Plan (RLTP) has been developed for the region by the Waikato Regional Transport Committee, and sets out how we intend to develop the region’s land transport system over the next 30 years. It also identifies proposed regional transport activities for investment (local and central government) over the next six years.

The plan’s scope includes policy and activities related to our roading maintenance and improvements, public transport services and infrastructure, walking and cycling infrastructure, road safety education and transport planning across the region.

The plan focuses on the region’s key transport problems and priorities over the next three years and how we will position the region to contribute to national objectives for a land transport system that is effective, efficient, safe and in the public interest.
