The government has pulled the brakes on its sweeping transport vision for the next three years - saying Cyclone Gabrielle has changed the game.
Cabinet last year signed off on a list of proposed transport priorities - putting climate change at the top of the list when it comes to how funding is spent.
A briefing paper from October suggests using road maintenance funding to roll out more bus and cycle lanes.
Speaking at a media briefing, the Prime Minister Chris Hipkins says a lot has changed since those decisions were made - including his promotion to the top job.
He says he now expects resilence will be the top transport priority.
