Parking charges rise


The cost of on-street parking and parking at Auckland Transport-managed parking buildings has increased.

On-street parking will cost $1 an hour more from this week (August 28). Hourly charges for parking at all AT-managed carparks will also increase by $1.

The revised parking charges are the first region-wide changes to parking charges in over a decade.

AT executive general manager service delivery Andrew Allen says these changes bring parking charges more in line with public transport fares, which are reviewed annually.

“We have had strong feedback from many Aucklanders that if we are reviewing the cost of our public transport fares each year, we should be doing the same for our parking charges,” Allen says.

The extra revenue generated will go towards covering AT’s operating expenses, including the public transport network and road safety programmes.
