Transport plans & strategies Transport plans & strategies

Auckland Transport (AT) is responsible for the planning, design, delivery and operations of Auckland’s multi-modal transport system. We have a range of plans and strategies which guide the way the transport system is developed.

How our plans and strategies fit together

AT’s plans and strategies interface with those created by Auckland Council, Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency and the Ministry of Transport.

The relationships between the plans and strategies

There is a network planning stream and an investment planning stream. Both are fed from the Auckland Plan.

• Future Connect identifies the future network.
• ATAP brings all agencies together to determine funding priorities.
• The RLTP is the investment plan which articulates the resulting preferred future scenario
• The RLTP interfaces with Auckland Council’s Long Term Plan (their investment plan) and the Government’s National Land Transport Programme (their investment plan).
• The Government Policy Statement on Land Transport outlines the Government’s priorities for transport investment. This guides their input into the National Land Transport programme and the ATAP process.
• The RLTP is also fed specifically by the Asset Management Plan, articulating the needs for renewal and maintenance of AT’s many assets.
• Future Connect is fed by a range of locational, modal and topic-specific plans and strategies. Future Connect feeds the Roads and Streets Framework, and both feed the Network Operating Plan.
• Projects funded through the RLTP are then guided by the NOP and earlier plans and strategies as they go through the business case, design and delivery process.
