Canterbury Transport Regional Implementation Plan 2008-2038

Amended Version: November 2007

The purpose of this Transport Regional Implementation Plan (“TRIP” or “the plan”) for the Canterbury region is to ensure a coordinated approach in delivering the Regional Land Transport Strategy (“RLTS”).


The Canterbury Regional Land Transport Committee (“RLTC”) resolved to oversee the development of the plan in response to growing demands for regional coordination of transport activities. The TRIP has been developed by the RLTC through the Technical Officers Group (“TOG”) and three sub-regional oversight groups, representing:

  • Northern Canterbury
  • Greater Christchurch
  • Southern Canterbury

The main objectives of this plan are as follows:

  • Providing an implementation framework for transport in the region.
  • Ensuring a ‘regional’ picture for transport and land use is obtained.
  • Developing an advocacy and planning tool in order to progress key projects.
  • Assisting with input into ‘regional’ funding allocation discussions.
  • Informing the RLTS review by providing content for the implementation and funding chapters.

Transport packages have been developed for the Northern Canterbury, Greater Christchurch and Southern Canterbury sub-regions. These have been developed in order to respond to the issues and outcomes identified for each area. Each project has been assessed against the effectiveness of the response to the outcomes identified for each package.  The packages were also assessed against the objectives of the NZTS and the LTMA 2003. Only activities that are considered to be of regional benefit have been included in this plan.
