Business advocates are backing Auckland mayor Wayne Brown's plan to introduce congestion charges to some of the city's busiest roads.
The Employers and Manufacturers Association says a charge would bring economic and social benefits to the city.
Auckland Council will meet on Thursday to discuss the introduction of the so-called 'Time of Use Charge', which would see people paying around $3.50-$5 to use specific roads during peak-time travel.
Employers and Manufacturers Association head of advocacy, strategy and finance Allan McDonald spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.
