What is this project about?

The current transport system is not meeting the needs of our growing population and economy and is failing to respond to the challenges of climate change. But the problems are complex, and the solutions are not easy. Changes in the transport system will impact current and future generations of Aucklanders. To make the right decisions, it is important to understand what people want for the future, and what they think is a fair approach to achieve those goals.

Koi Tū is working with Auckland Council  to run a deliberative forum – an innovative form of citizen engagement that follows the principles of deliberative democracy. (Click here to learn more)

At the start of the forum, participants will be asked to complete a survey testing their views on a range of issues and questions concerning transport in Auckland. During the forum, participants will learn more about the issue, hear others’ perspectives and reasoning, and look for common ground about what we can do differently to improve Auckland’s transport system. At the end, they will be asked to complete the survey again.
