Summary
- Funding for local transport in Auckland is split between the Government and the council, with recent cuts leading to decisions on how to allocate remaining funds.
- The council has decided to maintain its own spending levels and reallocate the budget as they see fit, prioritizing high-priority projects.
- Major local projects will be deferred under the new budget, but big projects like motorways and the City Rail Link remain unaffected.
- Despite cuts in various areas, including road safety and maintenance, the council has tried to minimize impact by spreading cuts more widely.
