Abstract
How will the next Government address the challenge of moving to a low carbon healthy transport system? In this Briefing we analyse responses to a short pre-election survey of political parties in Aotearoa New Zealand (NZ) on the topic of transport policy. Three parties in the current Parliament responded to the survey and, where possible, we gathered information from the other two. The results of asking political parties about their low carbon, healthy and equity-focussed transport policies show that, within the limits of the information provided, all parties fall short when it comes to policies that promote planetary and population health. While some parties have policies that represent a good start at addressing transport harms and promoting healthy, equitable and low carbon transport, other parties are promoting policies that are harmful to population and planetary health and will widen inequity.
