About us

Auckland Transport is responsible for all of the region’s transport services (excluding state highways), from roads and footpaths, to cycling, parking and public transport.

Our day-to-day activities keep Auckland's transport systems moving; including planning and funding of public transport, promoting travel choices, managing on and off-street parking and operating the local roading network.

To succeed, our Technology Strategy must have people and businesses at its heart, making them part of the change, helping the city to function better and to better meet the needs of citizens and transport users.

Our APIs

We have a range of API's and transport data, including data from Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency. By sharing this data we’d like to make innovation easier and enable the developer community to explore new ways of improving Auckland's transport system. 

You will need to sign up to use our API's - registration is free. To get you started, we allow 600 calls/minute and 35,000 calls/week. If your app needs to make more calls than that, contact us for help.
