Public transport needs must be part of council's consideration.

Continue as a primary advocate and driver to further our walking and cycling network.

Keep all safety issues and concerns front of mind and act to minimise any and all identified risk.

Maintain all due pressure to maintain and improve our challenging roading networks to a much higher standard.

Develop a public transport system to match the demand – have smaller people movers/vans running to an app alongside school busses.

Get Taraheru walk and cycleway, moving so people can get around our rohe without vehicles.

Push central government to get our roads sorted. Make Tairāwhiti special for roading funding and not use a population-based calculator.

Invest in a bike share scheme for all intermediate and high school students in the city.

De-carbonise the bus fleet as a matter of urgency.

Support the development of a multimodal transport network that includes rail.

Work with central government to avoid the concept that cycleways will fix everything.

Fix transport infrastructure like roads, bridges and car parks if and when enough funding is available.

Work with central government to look at feasibility plan for rail along the Coast.

Work with central government to build a cycle lane from Nelson Road, to Elgin and toward the beach.

Implement more effective public transport for all members of the community.

Committed to research these areas. Seems to be good areas for private business investment rather than council. Free transport for elderly.

Committed to waiting until the 'dust settles' on moves to sell community assets. Research traffic congestion and road-safety.

Committed to looking at options for maritime transport, especially up and down the coast for produce mainly.

Expand the cycle and walk ways, utilise government money to achieve this, this will reduce emissions and increase health.

Better utilisation of money to maintain our roads more efficiently so our economy can thrive. Fast track processes and more physical works.

Railway needs to be revisited to minimise trucks on our roads. I believe feasibility study currently sitting with central government.

Establish a heavy traffic bypass for our city.

Take whatever central government money that is offered as long as we do not have to sell our souls in doing so.
