The Green Party's transport policy removes $11 billion dollars from planned state highway projects.

These projects, which form an integral part of an overall strategy, are all of importance to regional New Zealand and some are of national importance.

It would be interesting, helpful and enlightening if the Greens would identify which of these projects would not proceed under this proposed policy.

Voters throughout the country would no doubt appreciate receiving this information.
After all 97 per cent of passenger travel and 91 per cent of freight movement in this country is by road.

The Greens need to recognise even public transport requires a well-maintained and safe roading system.

The National Government supports public transport and substantial spending during the last five years validates this.
