Hawke's Bay 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.

Commit to 'safe' biking infrastructure for our region, for both recreational and road biking users.
Work with community to develop a long term vision that provides effective and low carbon public transport for our region.
Investigate the raillink service to reconnect central Hawke's Bay through to Napier, reducing cars on the road and lowering carbon emissions.
Give clear direction on the viability of rail whether its passengers from Waipukurau or logs from Wairoa.
Bikes work best when cyclists feel safe. Concentrate on key arterial routes and make them safer.
Frequency of bus transport is increasing to every 10-15 minutes at peak times, but not for several years. Bring the timetable forward.
Double down on the commitment to boosting alternatives to private motor vehicle transport – bus/train/cycle/walk.
Public transport is adequate. We do not have the population to support an increase.
Appeal to government to return 80km/h SH5 back to 100km/h. It's safer than the Napier Taihape open road for goodness sake.
Operate with the honest and right balance between cars, bikes, walking and public transport.
Commit to dedicated off road cycleways and walkways alongside Te Karamu waterways, linking all towns and cities.
