Auckland’s transport budget is facing a $600 million hole because of the Government’s land transport funding decisions.
The shortfall means Auckland Transport and Auckland Council will have to decide which projects are priorities.
Last week, Transport Minister Simeon Brown and NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi unveiled their $33 billion National Land Transport Programme (NLTP) which sets out which projects and priorities will be funded and how.
New state highways, road maintenance and public transport in major cities were a major focus while walking and cycling saw its funding cut.
