Auckland Council
Transport
Helping communities get from A to B is a key responsibility of local government, from making sure the buses run on time to providing car parking and walking and cycling paths. Whether public transport is the responsibility of the regional or local council depends on where you are in the country. Local councils also own 87% of New Zealand’s roads.

Prioritise public transport which can reliably service less mobile people on a rainy day, over cycleways. There is room for both of course.

Get heavy container trucks off ours roads by incentivising containers onto rail just as we do with passenger rail.
Re-enliven the centre of Auckland, taking away useless barriers to car accessibility.
Balance the rights of car owners, pedestrians, bikers, and scooter-users, not allowing one to be favoured more than others.
Make walking safer by making scooter use only in the places where a bike can go.
Achieve fare equity for Waiheke ferry users and trial public transport on Aotea Great Barrier by working with Auckland Transport and the local boards.
Push Auckland Transport to rapidly roll out of the urban cycling network and safer streets through the re-allocation of road space.
Continue improvements in public transport with more frequent and reliable services and the procurement of electric ferries and buses.
