Greater Wellington Regional 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.

Continue to pursue our Greater Wellington Regional Council bid for government funding for new trains to Ōtaki and north, and the Wairarapa line.
Progress my bid for extending in to Kāpiti the current trialling of on-demand bus service in Tawa.
Increase Kāpiti bus services and park and ride options to increase patronage, such as Snapper on the Kāpiti trains from November.
Push central government to extend commuter rail to Ōtaki and further north, and introduce on-demand buses until the new trains are ready.
Demand a review of bus routes and timetables so they work for all users, including both commuters and people who live their lives locally.
Investigate a direct public transport connection from Kāpiti to the Hutt to assess demand for those commuting between the two for work.
