Auckland's mayor says he wants congestion charging in place as soon as possible.
The council's transport and infrastructure committee is due to consider an Auckland Transport report on the scheme this Thursday.
It means motorists idling on busy roads during peak hours will have to pay up to reduce traffic jams and make council revenue.
Wayne Brown says if the incoming Government doesn't support it, there will be a squabble.
"They expected to do this - Simeon Brown, who expects to be the Minister of Transport, has agreed it's a sensible thing to do."
