Motorists could be charged $3.50 to drive through Auckland's central city during peak hours.
A joint government - Auckland Council report says there's a strong case for congestion charging in the city, but the main problem's likely to be push back from the government.
Included in the shortlist of five charging options is one that would ping motorists for driving into the city centre along with strategic corridors including main motorways.
A new law would be needed for any tolling regime.
Auckland Mayor Phil Goff talks to Lisa Owen about the proposal.
