An estimated $134 million shortfall in Government transport and infrastructure funding has the potential to put Wellington’s entire transport system at risk, says Greater Wellington Regional Council chairperson Daran Ponter.
Ponter listed 85 examples of unfunded projects across the region in a letter addressed to the mayors, chairs of mana whenua and members of Parliament in the Wellington Region on Tuesday following Transport Agency Waka Kotahi NZ’s[ final decisions](https://www.thepost.co.nz/nz-news/350401230/wellington-gets-10-32b-land-transport-cash-splash) on the National Land Transport Plan for 2024-2027, released a week ago.
Wellington was allocated $3.3 billion ‒ 10% of the money allocated nationally ‒ which Transport Minister Simeon Brown said would increase productivity and reduce travel times in the region.
