Better ways to move around the city
Around 50% of the city’s carbon emissions come from the way we travel, with petrol and diesel road vehicles making up about a third of the city’s emissions.
Changing the way we get around the city is critical to achieving a net zero carbon future.
City design and planning, or what we call urban form, also play an important part in this change because living close to transport, shops, school, and work makes active and public transport more attractive due to shorter travel distances.
Changing how we move around the city will require support from central government, the Council and Wellingtonians.
What we're doing to support transport change
Our transport network impacts how the city moves. We're supporting this change through large projects and other initiatives.
