Streets for People update

New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA) are currently working with 15 councils across the motu to plan and scope projects as part of the Streets for People programme 2021-24, that aims to help create healthier futures by putting people and place at the heart of New Zealand streets.

Throughout May and June 2022, the 15 successful councils will work with the NZTA team to build capability so they are better prepared to partner with their communities to move quickly and easily to accelerate street-changes for walking and cycling. In June and July, each council will present their proposal to NZTA. The final leading cohort of councils and the successful projects will be announced later this year.

Streets for People builds on the solid learnings and experiences from the Innovating Streets for People programme, established by NZTA in 2018.
