Once in a generation transformation

With Auckland’s 1.4 million population expected to welcome an additional 300,000 newcomers by 2028, our region is experiencing unprecedented growth, and the way people live and move is
changing.

Responsible for Auckland’s transport solutions, from cycleways and public transport to roading and footpaths, Auckland Transport is playing an integral role in this change. It is committed to delivering
sustainable and innovative transport solutions to support and enhance the day-to-day lives of Aucklanders today, and well into the future.

Tech and innovation at Auckland Transport

Finding ways to enhance Auckland’s transport solutions requires innovative thinking. From mobile apps which make navigating Auckland’s public transport a breeze, to developing real-time travel information solutions that cover roads, bus lanes and motorways, smart tech is key to keeping the city moving.

As recognition of its clever, cutting-edge use of technology, Auckland Transport recently took home several awards at the Association of Local Government Information Management awards, including being named winner of the best technical solution for the Whangaparaoa dynamic lane project. Auckland Transport’s IT team comprises specialists from every IT discipline; from Developers and Programmers to Security Analysts, Scrum Masters and Geographic Information Systems experts.
