Petition request

That the House of Representatives urge the Government to not implement the new private share funding targets for public transport, and note that over 6,022 people have signed a similar petition.

Petition reason

We believe Aotearoa New Zealand should be a place where everyone can afford public transport. We are concerned that the new private share funding targets for public transport set by NZTA, as directed by the Minister of Transport, would require public transport authorities to increase fares. This could add pressure for people, especially those most affected by transport poverty. We believe the Government should instead increase funding for public transport to reduce emissions and improve equity.
