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.

Acknowledge Auckland is not geographically sympathetic to most cyclists as it is hilly and crowded and oppose putting cycleways adjacent to parked cars because it is dangerous.
Make trains the backbone of the network with buses providing local feeder networks and not competing with trains on main line routes.
Stop building speed humps and tables while local roads between them deteriorate, citing Blockhouse Bay Road as a prime example.
Advocate for no more anti-car culture while continuing to support sustainable public transport use.
Ensure congestion charging, if enacted, is not applied to minor roads and is offset by providing more frequent sustainable public transport.
Support the transition to the National Ticketing Solution/Motu Move and encourage the expansion of the Fareshare scheme.
Prioritise footpath repairs and transport asset renewals and introduce time-of-use charging to reduce congestion.
Develop the Te Whau Pathway including construction of boardwalks, bridges and concrete paths between Roberts Field and State Highway 16.
Give Aucklanders more choice over their transport methods by investing in active and public transport alongside roads.
Improve the accessibility of our public transport through things like improved wayfinding, mobility and pram access, and bus stop seating.
Reduce congestion by providing more protected or separated cycle lanes.
