Resolution
number MT/2022/45
MOVED by Chairperson M Meredith, seconded by Member N
Henry:
That the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board:
a) receive the progress update provided
on the Transport Emissions Reduction Plan
b) note
the scale of the challenge to meet Auckland’s transport emissions
reduction target and that mode shift is the most powerful lever for reducing
transport emissions
c)
support, in
principle, the work to date on developing the Transport Emissions Reduction
Plan
d)
support the
application of behavioural change and/or science to reducing transport
emissions, noting that our communities need to be brought along on a journey
in such a way that mode shift makes sense and improves lifestyles and
wellbeing.
e)
provide the following
feedback:
i) Public and active transport needs to work for
people to get from Point A to Point B in their everyday lives. This means:
A)
Public transport
needs to be more accessible, frequent and reliable
B)
Routes need to
consider all users for all purposes.
C)
Walking, cycling
and public transport routes need to become a well-connected network that
links up across the city, not simply paths and routes that stand alone.
D)
Public and active
transport options need to become more affordable.
The Tamaki Path is an example
of an opportunity for paths to be connected to create a network that links
between neighbourhoods and communities, making its use practical.
Note that better services for
walking, cycling, public transport, and assisted mobility options will have
large equity benefits, providing options for those who currently experience
transport disadvantage, which are often those who experience disadvantage
more generally.
