Active transport funding floor — 12% of the transport budget
Advocating for a legislated 12% funding floor for walking, cycling, and micro-mobility within the Auckland transport budget.
Position
Active transport is chronically underfunded relative to its mode-share and emissions benefit. We advocate a legislated 12% floor within the regional transport budget.
Evidence
- Mode share vs spend gap analysis
- Health and emissions cost savings
- Comparable floors adopted in peer cities
Status
Position paper open for evidence; submission to Waka Kotahi being drafted.
