新西兰通过了一项法案,允许奥克兰的交通拥堵定价来削减交通量和资助交通升级。 New Zealand passed a bill allowing congestion pricing in Auckland to cut traffic and fund transport upgrades.

新西兰议会已经通过了《土地运输管理(使用时充电)修正法案》,使奥克兰和其他地方当局能够启动旨在减少交通延误的拥堵定价计划。 New Zealand’s Parliament has passed the Land Transport Management (Time of Use Charging) Amendment Bill, enabling Auckland and other local authorities to launch congestion pricing schemes aimed at reducing traffic delays. 这项行动得到运输部长Chris Bishop的支持,回应了不断增加的旅行时间——比可比的澳大利亚城市要长30%——以及预计到2026年奥克兰每年交通堵塞费用为26亿美元。 The move, backed by Transport Minister Chris Bishop, responds to growing travel times—up to 30% longer than in comparable Australian cities—and projected annual congestion costs of $2.6 billion in Auckland by 2026. 在纽约市成功的交通拥堵定价(将延误减少25%)的启发下,这项举措力求将旅行时间转向非高峰时段,每年产生2 100万至2.61亿美元用于改善交通。 Inspired by New York City’s successful congestion pricing, which cut delays by 25%, the initiative seeks to shift travel to off-peak hours and generate $21 million to $261 million annually for transport improvements. 该法案获得一致通过,反映了广泛的支持,并通过公众协商加以完善,以确保公平和有效。 The bill passed unanimously, reflecting broad support and refined through public consultation to ensure fairness and effectiveness.
