Preparing the 2009-2012 programme

Guidelines have been prepared to help approved organisations prepare their land transport programmes (LTPs) and submit them for including in the National land transport programme.

The guidelines include:

• Expectations of LTPs
• Factors to consider when developing LTPs
• Tools and references
• Key dates and actions
• Getting approval to change a land transport programme
• Claiming funding for completed work
• Mid and end of year processes.

Preparing land transport programmes for 2009-2012 is covered by the Planning, programming and funding manual 2008. Section A1.3  provides a high-level view of the planning, programming and funding (PPF) process, as follows:

• Develop strategies and plans
• Formulate and assess activities and combinations of activities
• Draft, consult on, assess and finalise the RLTP
• Draft, assess, finalise and adopt the NLTP (see Chapter D3).
