Canterbury transport plans

Canterbury Regional Land Transport Plan

The Canterbury Regional Land Transport Plan (CRLTP) guides land transport planning and investment within the region.

It sets out:

  • the current state of the region’s transport network
  • challenges facing the network
  • vision, objectives and priorities for transport investment for a 10-year period.

The Regional Land Transport Plan 2021-31 was prepared by the Regional Transport Committee and adopted by the Canterbury Regional Council. It took effect on 1 July 2021. We will update the plan in 2024 as part of a statutory three-year review. The plan may be changed by variation if required.

Submissions on the draft Canterbury Regional Land Transport Plan for 2024–34 have closed. We are now preparing for hearings and deliberations. 

Canterbury Regional Public Transport Plan

The Canterbury Regional Public Transport Plan is a legislative document that sets out Environment Canterbury’s objectives and policies for delivering public transport in Canterbury.

It describes the services that we propose to provide in the future to meet the needs of new and existing customers and the policies which those services will operate by.

It also explains how we will work in partnership with operators and territorial authorities in the region.
