Party co-leader Lorna Slater said road charging could be “crucial” in getting people to cut their car use.

Party co-leader Lorna Slater said road charging – where drivers are charged for using public roads – could be “crucial” in getting people to cut their car use.

The party also believes that money raised from the charges should go towards communities with the poorest public transport options. “This is especially crucial in our busiest cities and areas that already have good existing public transport provisions.” “We support councils taking initiatives with the limited powers they have, but this is an area where all communities and levels of government need to work together for our common good.”
