Transport insights

Our research reports and findings about Wellington city’s transport system.

Transport is crucial to support the functioning of cities and enable individuals to reach places for work, study, and socialising. Transport impacts the environment and public health and is at the core of efforts to mitigate and respond to the climate change and ecological crisis.

An accessible, safe, and sustainable transport system can help make cities more livable and improve the wellbeing of residents. Therefore, understanding the existing transport system is integral to informing future strategic initiatives.

This webpage will be updated with published reports on a regular basis.
