Abstract

This paper presents survey data of changes in travel behaviour in response to two Auckland land transport projects: 1. The Northern Express bus service links Albany and Constellation bus stations, each of which has a park and ride facility, to the Auckland central business district; 2. The TravelWise Schools Programme works closely with school communities and local councils to develop school travel plans and to reverse the trend for more children to be driven to school. Survey data from both projects is used to calculate changes in vehicle kilometres travelled (vkt) and hence in CO2 emissions. The results of this calculation are then presented in context, by calculating the cost per tonne for the CO2 reductions achieved, and by comparing the scale of the reduction with the expected growth in transport CO2 emissions for Auckland.
