The Green Party says the Government’s new National Land Transport Programme marks another missed opportunity to take meaningful action to fight the climate crisis.

The Green Party has launched a petition urging the Government not to push ahead with blanket speed limit increases that will come at an incredible cost to our communities. 

While today’s announcement shows some support for bolstering urban density, it will not be enough to turn the tide on a status quo of urban sprawl. 

The Government’s Land Transport GPS is another example of short-term thinking that will hurt our climate and communities. 

The grounding of the Aratere Interislander Ferry is a wake-up call to the Coalition Government; they need to front up with a realistic long term solution to moving people and freight between our islands.  

The coalition’s careless approach to speed limits will come at the cost of community safety and see our road toll continue to climb. 

The Government’s move to pour billions into potholes whilst remaining inactive on climate change does nothing to solve our transport system's core problems. 

Today’s Budget will lead our transport network down a road of more emissions and more misery. 

This morning’s announcement from the Minister of Transport highlights his lack of ideas and lack of appetite to confront the climate crisis. 

Green Party MP Julie Anne Genter says her members' bill is an opportunity for the coalition government to plug the gap in electric vehicle incentives.
