How we're keeping the RPTP up to date

We're required to keep the RPTP consistent with the latest funding decisions and legislation.

To reflect the recently adopted Regional Land Transport Plan 2024-2034 (RLTP) we have reviewed the RPTP 2023-2031 and published a variation to the plan. The variation should be read together with RPTP 2023-2031, as this document is still in effect.

The variation does not change the Vision and Goals, Policies, and Action plan set out in the RPTP.

The remainder of the RPTP 2023-2031 remains in effect. Parts that have been updated in the variation are highlighted in the original document for the reader’s convenience.

What's included in the variation

This variation is an update that aligns the RPTP 2023-2031 with the new RLTP. The 2025 variation includes updates to information on projects and public transport services AT will deliver.

Updates to information on infrastructure projects AT will deliver

The funding status has changed in the Regional Land Transport Plan for some infrastructure projects. These include:

projects that have been completed
a Whangaparāoa bus station, Bayswater and Pine Harbour ferry improvements, Panmure bus layover, and some rail level crossing removals now receiving funding
the Rosedale Road upgrade, needed after the new Rosedale Station opens, being deferred due to a lack of funding.

Changes to the detailed plan for bus services

This reflects more detailed planning work completed during funding applications. All bus improvements in the RPTP 2023-2031 are going or have gone ahead.

This variation reflects what has already happened, and things that will happen sooner or later than originally planned. These delays have happened because the infrastructure needed for these services is not yet built, or because of contract negotiations with bus operators. These negotiations help us get good value for money outcomes.

Updates on some completed actions from the RPTP’s action plan

Five actions have been completed, while three have been delayed. These include the roll-out of electric ferries, the roll-out of AT Local and the completion of the Park and Ride Framework. All are being delivered with revised timelines.
