A record $8.4 billion for transport investment in Auckland through the 2024-27 National Land Transport Programme (NLTP) will deliver the infrastructure our rapidly growing region needs to support economic growth and reduce travel times, Transport Minister Simeon Brown says.

“Aucklanders rejected the previous government’s transport policies which resulted in non-delivery, phantoms projects, slower speed limits, and an infestation of speed bumps. The Government is turning this around with record investment in transport projects that reduce travel times, improve public transport options, and build and maintain our roading network to the safe and reliable standard Aucklanders expect.

“Auckland has a growing population, and it is critical we continue to invest in transport infrastructure which enables people and freight to easily move around our region. Our Government is committed to making sure that every transport dollar is spent wisely on the projects and services that Aucklanders need. Public transport needs to be reliable, and roads need to be built and maintained to a high standard.”

The National Land Transport Programme will deliver a significant pipeline of transport infrastructure for Auckland to reduce congestion and enable Aucklanders to get to where they want to go, quickly and safely.

“Auckland needs both major public transport projects and RoNS to enable economic growth, reduce congestion, and unlock land for thousands of houses. Our region has been left without an infrastructure pipeline and our Government is committed to turning this around to deliver for Aucklanders.
