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.

Focus transport budgets on fixing potholes, resurfacing roads and upgrading key routes.
Let people choose how they travel and stop social engineering through anti-car policies.
Stop wasting money on cycleways, speed bumps and parking cuts that slow everyone down.
Commit to providing free public transport, or as close to free as possible, to ensure a viable alternative to cars.
Fix Lake Road by adding a transit lane in each direction during peak time, upgrade the green route and build a Francis Street to Esmonde Road pedestrian and cycle bridge.
Oppose the congestion charge as it is a tax on getting to work and there are limited alternatives to travel across Auckland from North Shore.
Develop a strong relationship with government to deliver major transport projects that keep Auckland moving, including the new harbour crossing.
Include ferries in the $50 public transport weekly cap and deliver better connections between Shore buses and the inner city network.
Require greater transparency from Auckland Transport and ensure the council has the final say over transport strategy and spending.
Ensure appropriate training for AT bus and other frontline service staff to be more customer service oriented and client focused.
Ensure road safety while maintenance and repairs are conducted with appropriate direction and road cones for safety of road users.
Reduce traffic congestion by ensuring appropriate staff instruct temporary traffic management companies to remove cones after work finishes.
