The July 1998 edition of InTransit primarily focused on repairs to flood damaged highways in Taranaki, Waikato, Bay of Plenty, Auckland and Northland. However, it also included a summary of state highway funding under the 1999 National Roading Programme, funded by Transfund NZ at the time.
Highlights were:
- $444.2m of funding for the year for Transit NZ for all of its work, around half of all funding going to Transit NZ, the remainder going to local authorities for local roads and public transport.
- $221m of Transit's funding was for state highway maintenance
- The funding threshold for new projects was maintained at a BCR of 4:1.
- Projects separated into Category 1 (approved now) and Category 2 (funding approved dependent on finalising resource consents, property purchases).
