What All Aboard does

All Aboard Aotearoa Inc. is an independent non-profit advocacy organization headquartered in Auckland, New Zealand, founded in 2021 and operating under the legal name All Aboard Aotearoa Inc. The organization employs a core team of six people and is governed by a Board of Trustees with Tim Adriaansen serving as Executive Director and Paul Winton as Chair of the Board of Trustees. Its mission is to decarbonize Aotearoa's (New Zealand's) transport system by working with communities to build trust, skills, and shared understanding around transport policy and by advocating for safer, more affordable, and fairer transport options. The organization engages directly with communities through events such as the Manurewa Initiative (Mountfort Park, February 2024, over 120 attendees), operates a content library of articles and policy submissions, and runs a monthly newsletter.

The organization operates the All Aboard Action Alliance, a coalition of partner organizations including Bike Auckland, Greenpeace Aotearoa, Climate Club Aotearoa, Cycling Action Network, Ora Taiao: NZ Climate and Health Council, Beautification Trust, The Future is Rail, and The Wednesday Challenge. All Aboard has used both policy and litigation channels to influence transport outcomes, including filing a High Court case against Auckland Transport and Auckland Council in 2021 challenging the Regional Land Transport Plan 2021-2031 (ruled against All Aboard on 8 July 2022), participating in the Mill Road judicial review, advocating for Auckland's Transport Emissions Reduction Pathway (TERP) targeting a 64% reduction in transport emissions by 2030, and defending the Safe Speeds Programme (impacting over 1,500 streets, with cited 30% reduction in deaths and serious injuries where speed limits were lowered).

The organization does not sell commercial products or services. Revenue is derived from donations and contributions solicited through its website, newsletter, and supporter campaigns. Engagement and distribution channels span a content library (articles, submissions, resources), social media, community events, earned media/PR, and email/newsletter subscriptions. Primary audiences are communities across Aotearoa, Action Alliance partner organizations, schools and families, and technical experts and academics contributing to research and policy analysis.
