Auckland may get less than halfway to its 2030 transport emission target, according to the head of the city’s transport agency.
Auckland Transport (AT)chief executive Dean Kimpton has told *Stuff* that on the current path, he thinks only about 40% of the Transport Emissions Reduction Pathway (TERP) 2030 goals would be achieved.
Kimpton, who has been in the role for just over three months, also said he was unhappy AT had not done what the council asked – and come up with a two-year quickstart plan on emmissions reduction.
In an interview with *Stuff*, Kimpton highlighted the gap between the council’s aspirations to cut emissions and what the agency believed was do-able with current, and foreseeable, funding.
“I don’t think we are going to get there on our current trajectory,” said Kimpton on the aim to halve driving by 2030.
