Submission on the Auckland Land Transport Plan 2021-2031

Engineers for Social Responsibility Inc. is of the firm view that the Draft Auckland Regional Land Transport Plan 2021 - 2031 (Draft ARLTP 2021) should be put on hold and revised when the Central Government has developed clear climate change policies and interim targets following finalisation of the Climate Change Commission’s Draft Advice for Consultation.

In the interim, a decision is needed on implementing congestion pricing instead of yet more studies, and much higher priority must be given to developing and implementing actions which start to make the major reductions in Auckland’s emissions required. Climate change is one of, if not the most important issue facing the world today
