This is about the resilience of access for Wellington and Wairarapa whanau, traveling both ways for work, industry, and leisure. Many have emphasized the Wellington side of the Remutaka only, which I believe is shortsighted. Wairarapa is part of the Wellington region, and I think it deserves to be treated equitably in all transport matters. I must remind many that during the pandemic, the Wairarapa was one of the top economic performers, as attested by national GDP numbers at that time. In other words, Wairarapa is a big player economically in the Wellington region and needs reliable roading and rail to keep this end of the country moving! I'm not opposed to tolling the road as long as it is not so expensive to all users that many won't use it; say $2 - $2.50 each way, a total of $4 - $5 return trip as a proposed toll for starters..
