Regional Land Transport Strategy
The Regional Land Transport Strategy (RLTS) is a statutory document (prepared under the Land Transport Act 1998) that Greater Wellington must produce via the Regional Land Transport Committee (RLTC). It is the strategic transport document that guides the development of our region’s transport system including public transport, roads, walking, cycling and freight for the next ten years and beyond.
The Wellington Regional Land Transport Strategy 2007 – 2016 was adopted by Greater Wellington on 19 July 2007, following consideration of feedback from 1300 submissions and results of a telephone survey of 800 residents and 100 businesses.
The adopted strategy includes a strong commitment to public transport and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. It also recognises the importance of a strategic road network which operates safely and efficiently. It includes outcomes and ambitious new targets in relation to increasing the use of sustainable transport modes such as passenger transport, walking and cycling, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, improving road safety, reducing severe traffic congestion, improving freight efficiency and improving land use and transport integration.
Greater Wellington also adopted a new Regional Passenger Transport Plan which forms part of the RLTS.
