The Auckland Transport Plan brings all of the region's transport programmes together in one place, offering a single transport view for the region.

The plan was prepared by ARTA, and provides a reference for NZ Transport Agency in preparing its State Highway Forecast, KiwiRail in preparing its plans to develop the Auckland rail network, and territorial authorities for local roads and transport projects that are brought forward to funding. While developed in a collaborative manner, the Auckland Transport Plan does not override individual agencies' statutory responsibilities.
