Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori and Council’s emissions targets w/ Cr Julie Fairey: 12th September, 2024

Auckland Council's Transport Emissions Reduction Pathway lays out a series of targets for reducing Auckland's transport emissions by almost 65% within the next 6 years. 

Some of the goals include cutting car trips from making up 94% of distance travelled around the city to 47%, pump cycle trips up from 1% to 5% and increase bus trips from 3 % to 12%. 

Additionally, next week is Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori. 

The week is a wider government sponsored initiative intended to promote the use of te reo Māori as well as awareness, education, and public engagement. 

For our weekly catch up with Auckland Council, Sofia spoke to Councillor Julie Fairey about both of these topics.
