Wellington City 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.

Defer all new cycleways till we can afford it. Invest the $200 million into things we need. We need to decarbonise – not deCARnise.
Build the new tunnel! Don't use the existing tunnel for biking – it will cut off access to Hataitai. Bus mass transit not light rail.
Wellington can be a world leader in driverless zero emission vehicle transport in ten years, if we start and stop trying using old technology.
Improve transport for all by incentivising public transport use. Increase the frequency of key bus services, paint more bus priority lanes.
Alleviate congestion at key choke points such as the Mount Victoria tunnel.
Work with Greater Wellington Regional Council to assess the suitability of our bus services and network, and to encourage free public transport.
Ensure we do more to create a public transport and walking-friendly city with bus lanes, convenient bus stops and lots of shelter.
Continue to support the rollout of the cycling network and the Let's Get Wellington Moving initiatives for cycling and walking.
Ensure there is a plan to fix wharves, provide good shelter and hire bikes near wharves and encourage more use of ferries.
Transport options for all – walking, cycling, public transport and cars all have a place in our city.
Commit to a final plan for Lets Get Wellington Moving and get on with implementation.
Encourage as many forms of transport as possible and have strong support for public transport that moves mass numbers of people.
Ensure the city has really good infrastructure to support public transport, such as good signage and bus shelters.
Ensure road safety has a high priority and remove hazards that are a problem for the movement of public transport.
Better bus services. The only way to improve mobility affordably and quickly. Fares, frequency, routes, stops, comfort. All need improvement.
Establish "Wellington Transport" with Greater Wellington Regional Council. Disband Let's Get Wellington Moving.
State Highway 1 Airport to Ngauranga upgrade ASAP. Undergrounding and widening Caro Drive, expanded tunnel capacity.
