Road safety funding in the Auckland region comes from a variety of sources, but predominantly from the National Land Transport Fund in the form of community funded activities, the Road Policing Programme and safety engineering improvements on local roads and state highways.

ARTA plays a central coordinating role in funding community programmes and local road and State highway engineering projects through the Regional Land Transport Programme.

Funding of police activity is directly funded from the National Land Transport Fund. Other agencies such as the Accident Compensation Corporation and the Ministry of Health also have an ongoing, but relatively minor, funding role in the region.
