Summary

Transport has a major role to play in ensuring a zero-carbon, equitable Aotearoa New Zealand. In this policy, the traditional prioritising of road development and private motoring over all other modes of transport is reversed. For many people, car dependency is an unwanted financial and personal burden. Investment in revitalising rail, enabling active and public transport, and electrifying vehicles is prioritised so that our towns, cities and rural areas become less car-dependent and the use of fossil fuels for transport is eliminated.
