The following parties have confirmed their attendance:

A response to our invitation is yet to be received from the National Party.

  • Transport funding for Auckland transport projects, including public transport, cycling and walking
  • The City Rail Link
  • The Puhoi – Warkworth Toll Road and other Roads of National Significance
  • An additional Waitemata Harbour crossing

If you want to hear what the Parties have to say around transport issues the 27th at Pioneer Women’s and Ellen Melville Hall would be a good place to be.
