Abstract
This report estimates the benefits of reducing congestion in Auckland which should be weighed against the cost of reducing congestion depending on the policy or policies implemented, such as packages as identified by Auckland Transport Alignment Project (ATAP). Our approach to estimating the benefits of decongestion goes beyond travel time savings, to one that accounts for wider benefits of decongestion. The true cost of congestion touches many sectors and areas of society. Congestion affects the competitiveness and liveability of Auckland, which in turn affects how New Zealand as a country can compete on the world stage. We show how Auckland traffic congestion has far-reaching implications given the importance of roading transport in the supply chain, as well as the broad-based impacts of congestion on Auckland households.
