Auckland transport planners want more people commuting on bikes and scooters.

Auckland councillors voted last week to endorse a $306 million plan to roll out more cycleways in the city.

The funding was allocated from Auckland's 10-year Regional Land Transport Plan towards a cycling and micro-mobility programme. But transport planners want political support for a further $1.7 billion to deliver 260km of new cycleways and extra cycling connections in 14 areas by 2030. 

What's being planned? How will it be achieved and what will it mean for cyclists and drivers?
