Council backs congestion charges
Auckland road charges proposed
Apr 13, 2006
Auckland city councillors have endorsed a strategy to charge people for using the region's roads in a bid to address its transport crisis.
Congestion charging and parking levies are options mooted under the plans which could see motorists face fees of up to $50 a week.
The council's Transport and Urban Linkages Committee is supporting further investigation of the road pricing options.
Its chairman Richard Simpson says the charges are a way of both raising the funds to improve public transport and reducing congestion.
Simpson says the full council will consider the issue at the end of the month and a formal submission will be made to the Ministry of Transport.
