Christchurch City Council
Transport
Helping communities get from A to B is a key responsibility of local government, from making sure the buses run on time to providing car parking and walking and cycling paths. Whether public transport is the responsibility of the regional or local council depends on where you are in the country. Local councils also own 87% of New Zealand’s roads.

Support continued investment in our roading infrastructure to ensure children and pedestrians are safe, and there is mode choice.
Increase council spending on public transport infrastructure, especially additional bus shelters to enhance the user experience and encourage uptake.
Review the work being undertaken by Christchurch City Council, central government and Environment Canterbury regarding passenger rail to ensure there are no silos and we can progress as soon as possible.
Review traffic corridors, traffic flow and traffic light phasing to ensure congestion is avoided wherever possible.
Urgently investigate/implement a passenger rail trial (bring your bike) from the North Canterbury towns, through Papanui and into the city.
Quit wasting money on overpriced cycle ways. Common sense cost-effective solutions rather than irrational ideological fiscal blowouts.
Safe cyclist education and promotion that empowers cyclists to own responsibility for road safety, as well as driver beware.
Prioritise dealing with dangerous intersections that cost lives, and cause traumatic injury.
Reinstate commuter rail along existing rail corridor, and begin the procurement process to enable rail city centre and commercial hubs.
Focus on making buses effective, reliable and cheap enough to increase patronage over time. We must prioritise public transport.
Induced demand means we cant build our way out of congestion. No more car infrastructure, investment in making community amenity instead.
