Submission: Government Policy Statement on Land Transport
The Government Policy Statement (GPS) outlines how the Government intends to outlines how the Government intends to spend money on transport initiatives. The policy as proposed is incredibly regressive and intends to significantly reduce spending for cycling and safety improvement infrastructure.
We made this submission to the Ministry of Transport on 2 April 2024.
Our key positions:
- We support an activity class for cycling infrastructure maintenance.
- We do not support the limitations placed on cycling infrastructure investment.
- We do not support the limiting of multimodal improvements on state highways.
- We do not support the reduction in funding for walking and cycling infrastructure.
- We need to see alignment between evidence and investment.
