Introducing Transport 2026: An Industry-Led Look at New Zealand’s Transport Future
As New Zealand moves toward the next General Election, transport will once again become a major point of discussion — from congestion and road safety to emissions, public transport funding, and long-term infrastructure investment.
Yet for those who rely on transport every day — schools, businesses, tourism operators, councils, and communities — meaningful discussion is often hard to find.
That’s why Kiwi Coaches is launching Transport 2026: an independent, industry-led briefing on the state and future of transport in New Zealand.
Why Kiwi Coaches Is Doing This
Kiwi Coaches has spent more than 30 years operating across some of the most complex parts of the transport system:
daily school routes
tourism and long-distance touring
major events and conferences
urban and regional passenger movement
We see firsthand how policy decisions translate into real-world outcomes — sometimes successfully, sometimes not.
Transport 2026 is not about politics. It’s about practical understanding.
We believe there is value in explaining:
what the transport system looks like today
what challenges the next government will inherit
how proposed changes may affect reliability, safety, cost, and access
What Transport 2026 Will Do
Over the coming months, Transport 2026 will publish:
clear explainers on transport policy and infrastructure
industry-focused analysis of major proposals
summaries of long-term transport projects
neutral Q&A interviews with transport spokespeople
commentary grounded in operational reality
All content will be written with a focus on what actually works on the ground.
What This Is Not
Transport 2026 is not:
a campaign platform
a party endorsement site
a political commentary blog
Our aim is clarity, not advocacy.
How to Follow the Coverage
The main Transport 2026 hub will be updated regularly and act as the central reference point for all related content.
As the election approaches, new pages and articles will be added covering:
public transport
school transport
tourism and visitor movement
emissions and fleet transition
infrastructure delivery
Closing
Transport affects everyone — but it is often discussed in ways that feel distant from everyday reality.
Transport 2026 is Kiwi Coaches’ contribution to a more practical, grounded conversation about how New Zealand moves, now and into the future.
