Transporting New Zealand says the Government's struck a good spending balance – with investment in the future.
The government's announced the finalisation of its Policy Statement on Land Transport, to the tune of $22 billion.
It'll be used to improve road maintenance, build roads of national significance, improve public transport, and bring in roadside drug testing.
Transporting NZ Policy Lead, Billy Clemens, told Tim Beveridge “This will ensure roads work for New Zealanders.”
Clemens said “Truck operators pay a lot toward roads, but as long as there’s good maintenance, they’re happy to pay.”
