All Branches

The Transportation Group – Auckland Branch will be hosting an online presentation looking at Auckland Transport’s Connected Communities Project. Connected Communities is a new way of doing things and has the potential to transform central Auckland, providing new transport options across the isthmus. The programme forms part of the wider group of interconnected infrastructure and operational projects which includes the City Rail Link, Eastern Busway, city-wide safety improvements, Customer Experience, and the Urban Cycleways Programme.

As the lead planner on the project, Anthony Pearse, Auckland Transport will provide viewers with the background, current status, milestones and next steps of the project. After an initial presentation, there will be an opportunity for discussion and feedback. All are welcome to attend this free event.

Join us online for the first Chair’s Conversation of 2022

There are many competing demands for space on our transport corridors and a growing appreciation of the need to encourage more sustainable, healthy modes of transport. Part of that involves making our roads more accessible to everyone in our society.

As a result, best-practice guidance on planning and design for various travel modes has been evolving in New Zealand, mostly based on international good practice and the results of local implementation and trials. Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency now has a growing range of national guidance in this space for practitioners to use.

This webinar is designed to introduce the transport industry to the suite of multi-modal guidance now available in New Zealand including any recent updates. Following this webinar, an ongoing series of other webinars over the next year will provide training on various multi-modal topics.
