Congestion Monitoring

We're collecting and publishing travel time data to help to drive a more informed debate about traffic in our biggest centres.

We wanted to understand what is happening on our roads every morning - how long it is taking motorists to get to work, to school or to leisure activities during the heavily congested morning peak period. So we decided to start collecting travel time data for key routes in Auckland, Tauranga, Wellington and Christchurch.  

Not only do we use this data to monitor congestion and understand how it is changing from month to month and year to year, it helps us to inform policy makers at both the local and central government levels about the very real impact that congestion is having, as we endeavour to get better outcomes for our congested main centres.
