It combines the transport functions of the eight former Auckland local authorities and the Auckland Regional Transport Authority (ARTA) from 1 November 2010. It was established by section 38 of the Local Government (Auckland Council) Act 2009, and operates under that act and the Local Government (Auckland Transitional Provisions) Act 2010.
