The Bay of Plenty Regional Land Transport Plan 2018 (RLTP) was developed as a single strategic document by all Councils within the Bay of Plenty to seek central government funding for improvements to the region’s transport network. A list of prioritised proposed activities was presented in the RLTP demonstrating which aspects of the transport network would be preferentially funded. These activities included improvements for road safety, active and public transport, and roading infrastructure.

A public engagement process was conducted to receive feedback from members of the public and stakeholders on the RLTP. Over 1,300 submissions were received from members of the public and stakeholders.
