    Julie Anne Genter August 17, 2017 7:48 AM
    The Green Party today announced that it will trial a passenger rail service between Auckland, Hamilton and Tauranga starting in 2019, when it is in government.

  • Government’s electric vehicle announcement low power

    Julie Anne Genter August 12, 2017 3:32 PM
    The Green Party has welcomed the Government’s recent announcement that one in three cars in its vehicle fleet will be electric by 2021, but it is still ‘low power.’ “While this is a good start, we need to charge up the ambition to ensure that New Zealand is keeping pace with the rest of the world,” said Green Party transport spokesperson Julie Anne Genter.  “Aotearoa should be leading the world in electric vehicle adaptation. Instead, National’s lack of leadership has...

  • National drags its feet on airport rail

    Julie Anne Genter August 08, 2017 2:44 PM
    Documents obtained by the Green Party show the National government has quietly delayed work to protect the route for light rail to the airport from development, having previously said it was being urgently progressed, the Green Party said today. A briefing to Transport Minister Simon Bridges in March said a business case for route protection for the CBD to airport corridor would be completed in 2017.  https://archive.greens.org.nz/file/nzta-oia-responsepdfAn Official Information Act response from the NZ Transport Agency in July said that...

  • Regional rail: connecting Manawatū and Hawke’s Bay

    July 31, 2017 3:28 PM
    Trains can help people and freight in regional New Zealand travel safely and efficiently, taking trucks and cars off the road, and reducing the pollution that causes climate change. The indefinite closure of the Manawatū Gorge is an opportunity to revitalise passenger trains in this part of New Zealand. The Green Party will: Establish a new twice-daily passenger train service between Palmerston North and Napier: the Ruahine Runner. Bring fares down on the existing Capital Connection commuter service between Palmerston...

  • Safe to School

    June 23, 2017 4:36 PM
    Today, most kids travel to school stuck in the backseat of a car, creating congestion and pollution in our cities. Safety is the number one concern that stops parents from sending their child to school on foot or by bike. When parents wave goodbye to their child in the morning they should know they’re going to be safe when riding their bike or walking with their friends to school. Kids walking, biking or riding their scooter to school are healthier,...

  • Safer, Cleaner Freight

    June 23, 2017 3:16 PM
    The Green Party is setting a target to get half of New Zealand’s freight moving by rail and sea within 10 years, which will dramatically reduce the number of dangerous trucks clogging up New Zealand’s roads. Instead of demanding that rail return a profit, which has set rail up to fail, we’ll fund it from the transport budget in the same way roads are, providing the investment needed to move freight in the most effective and clean way. Every year,...

  • Rail needed before road tolls in Auckland

    Julie Anne Genter June 07, 2017 11:27 AM
    The Government needs to vastly improve Auckland's public transport before it introduces tolls on Auckland's roads, or it risks further punishing people who live on the edge of the city, the Green Party said today. Finance Minister Steven Joyce today announced that the Government and Auckland Council are investigating road tolls in Auckland to manage demand on the roads. “Aucklanders need to have access to reliable, fast, affordable trains and buses before road pricing is introduced to discourage people driving...
