Will Auckland get its very own city-wide congestion tax?

A joint agreement between the Auckland City Council and the Government has been reached today regarding a Smarter Transport Pricing project for Auckland City. Announced this morning, the two bodies will embark on an ambitious plan to reduce the demand and ease congestion across Auckland’s roading infrastructure. One method the project will explore will be a potential congestion tax applied to road users. 95bFM producer Adam Jacobson speaks with Greater Auckland Editor Matthew Lowrie for his thoughts on what a city-wide congestion might mean for Auckland.
