Oversize vehicles are a menace to pedestrians. What's the best response?
Submitted by timjones on Fri, 12/05/2023 - 12:37With all the damage oversize vehicles, such as SUVs and double-cab utes, cause, should they be banned altogether? That was the provocative question a journalist asked us recently for her article The case to ban SUVs. And the new End Urban SUVs campaign is also focused on this issue.

Dropping The Ball On Emissions Reductions Not The Answer To Climate Resilience
Submitted by timjones on Wed, 08/03/2023 - 13:32Here's the statement Living Streets Aotearoa put out yesterday in response to the Prime Minister's announcement that transport emissions reductions would be made a lower priority in the wake of Cyclone Gabrielle. We believe this approach is short-sighted and self-defeating. We're calling on the Government not to abandon its policies to reduce transport emissions.
