Auckland Mayor Phil Goff says the newly released Transport Emissions Reduction Plan is "hugely ambitious, but I'm told that it is achievable". He said it's only achievable with the buy-in of Aucklanders.
"The public at the moment is saying to us, you need to do more and you need to do it faster. The crunch point comes of course when we start to affect the way people live.
"You've got to be prepared to make changes in your lifestyle In order for this to happen. So this will be a combination of incentives to make alternative forms of transport more attractive, but it will involve some pressure the other way, and things like congestion charging, obviously, that's going to have an impact."
