Have your say on the future of Auckland's transport
Auckland Regional Council (ARC) is appealing to Aucklanders to have their say on how $47 billion is to be spent on transport across the region over the next 30 years.The ARC's regional transport committee recently launched its draft strategy on the future of Auckland's transport for public consultation.
Transport interest groups, community groups, organisations and members of the public are invited to have their say on the draft Regional Land Transport Strategy 2010-2040 by:
- Visiting www.arc.govt.nz/rlts
- Emailing rlts@arc.govt.nz
- Requesting hard copies of the strategy or summary by phoning 366 2000
- Visiting your local library or any council service centre.
The draft Regional Land Transport Strategy makes a reasonable estimate on how much funding will be available for transport in Auckland over the next 30 years, and advises how that money should be invested.
The draft strategy recommends a mix of investment to complete the strategic road network; improvement in public transport, including ferry, bus and rail; and introducing more measures to manage travel demand.
Consultation closes on 18 December and submission hearings will take place in February 2010.
