Everyone who uses the toll road enjoys the benefits of the straighter, quicker route. Motorcyclists equally benefit from the shorter travel time, safer motorway and fuel cost savings.
Up until now, motorcyclists have not been charged to use New Zealand’s first fully electronic toll road. However, the NZTA is considering whether it will be fairer for everyone if a toll is charged to motorcyclists when they use the road as well. The toll would likely be the same as for other motorists. This is currently set at $2 each way.
We are now consulting with the public on whether motorcyclists should be charged a toll if they choose to use the toll road. After considering the results from this consultation, the NZTA will make a decision on whether to toll motorcycles and if so, what would be an appropriate toll. This decision is expected to be made early next year.
Anyone can make a submission, whether you are a motorcyclist, a regular motorist, or just someone who wishes to contribute to this consultation.
