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.

The public transport system needs to be accessible and convenient with high quality, zero emission vehicles and facilities.
Work with central government to make ongoing and additional improvements to walking and cycling connections in high demand routes.
We all agree that road rules should be enforced, combined with educational initiatives. This should be consistent across regions and age groups.
Partner with KiwiRail, coastal shipping and bus companies to move regional passengers and freight off the road and onto bus, rail and boat.
Partner with district councils and government to develop separate cycle/walking pathways along all regional highways in Canterbury.
Partner with the Ministry of Education and school bus operators to provide a rural community bus return service in the middle of the day.
