The biggest winners and losers from the Government's transport plans

The Front Page

The Government has announced a record 32.9-billion-dollar investment in New Zealand’s transport network over the next three years, through the National Land Transport Programme.

The big winner is new roads, and the big loser is walking and cycling improvements.

Today on The Front Page, Auckland University Senior Lecturer in urban planning Tim Welch bring us up to speed.
