Transport
United Future New Zealand recognises that an efficient transport sector is an essential component of national infrastructure and well being.
We will work towards an integrated national transport system that meets the needs of industry, commerce and the wider community at a reasonable cost.
United Future's position is to:
- support tolling, public private partnerships (PPPs) and other investment options for urgently-needed, high cost highways for which there is significant community support, but continue to treat the National Land Transport Fund as the primary source of funding
- ensure that a significant proportion of fuel excise duty collected within a particular region is earmarked for the roads in that region
- complete the strategic roading networks in Auckland and Wellington (including the construction of the Transmission Gully highway)
