About 650 people with an interest in Auckland transport are gathering at the Aotea Centre in Auckland for a debate this evening.
The debate will discuss proposals for transport in a 10-year budget, including options for motorway tolls and a mix of a regional fuel tax and higher rates to
pay for a $10.3 billion "Auckland Plan" budget.
Watch a live stream of the meeting from 5.30pm here:
Without these new funding options, the Auckland Council will only be able to afford a $6.9 billion "basic" option.
