The interim levy is in response to the majority of Aucklanders opting to pay more for the Auckland Transport Network Plan during public consultation and in an independent survey earlier this year.
To fill the $12 billion funding gap for the full Auckland Plan network, Auckland also opted for a motorway user charge.
New investments to include:
- increases in walking and cycling funding across Auckland of $124 million
- $43 million for North-western busway and an additional 45km of bus lanes
- park and ride extensions at Silverdale, Pukekohe and Papakura
- delivering arterial and local road networks
- public transport safety improvements for rail crossings.
