Transport
What we are planning for transport in the Annual Plan 2025/2026.
Our transport investments will focus on renewing and maintaining our networks, while fixing roads and improving public transport.
In the 2025/2026 financial year, we plan to:
- support development of the 30-year Auckland Integrated Transport Plan. This will provide Aucklanders with better access to public transport and a better-connected, more efficient transport system
- make progress on the Eastern Busway between Pakuranga to Botany including the Rā Hihi (flyover) above Reeves Road and across Tī Rākau Drive
- support the opening of City Rail Link in 2026. This includes:
- buying more electric multiple unit (EMU) trains
- removing level crossings to reduce traffic congestion
- working with KiwiRail and Auckland One Rail to manage disruptions from rail network closures
- install driver safety screens on approximately 1100 buses across Auckland by 2026
- deliver projects planned in Auckland Transport’s Statement of Intent, to:
- repair, upgrade or replace existing assets like train stations and bus stops
- repair 95 per cent of potholes on major roads within 24 hours of receiving notification
- decarbonise ferries (reduce or completely eliminate carbon emissions from ferry operations)
- introduce a road safety programme.
