Green Party media comment: Government Cycling Announcement

The Green Party today welcomed the adoption of its cycling policy by the National Government.

"We campaigned hard on a sensible approach to safe cycling investment last year," said transport spokesperson Julie Anne Genter.

"We are thrilled to see the National Government match the levels of funding for cycling that we proposed in our comprehensive transport budget.

"We hope they will soon adopt other smart, green transport policies, like funding the Auckland Central Rail Link to start on time, and keeping our electric freight trains.

"A smart, green approach to transport will give Kiwis greater choice, cost less, protect the climate and create happier, healthier towns and cities," said Ms Genter.
