Mayor of Nelson
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.

Work to ensure the completion of the Great Taste Cycleway and particularly the sections through Tāhunanui and, with Tasman District Council, in Motueka Valley.
Take a balanced approach to transport that recognises not everyone can bike, walk or bus to where they need to go and invest in all modes.
Lobby to ensure Nelson gets its fair share of transport funding and carefully invest in roading, public transport, cycleways and walkways.
Revisit together needs, goals and challenges. The proposed debt, exploitation and money-free society will have new transport requirements.
Discuss transport in light of up to date knowledge/information around social/ecological well-being, resource management and sustainability.
Rationalise long-term viability of currently proposed alternatives to fossil fuelled transport. Perform life-cycle analysis of all options.
Deliver on our overhaul of public transport, providing regular, frequent and affordable buses, with fares free travel for high-need groups.
Work with providers to ensure the supply of shared car and bike services in Nelson, and supporting this with the required infrastructure.
Develop and complete a connected cycleway network across our city, including lighting the Railway Reserve and a new cycleway to the Glen.
Improve walking and cycling connections to and across our city.
Improve parking in our central CBD and Tahuna and Stoke business and shopping centres.
Take a reconsideration of the Future Access Project. Current plan will not cater for the transport capacity needs of Waimea and Rocks Road.
Make public transport free for children, students, apprentices, Community Services Card holders and Total Mobility Card holders.
Commit to plans to improve our bus service and make it possible for all of the city's children to safely walk or ride to their local school.
Ensure Waka Kotahi delivers on its plan for transforming transport across the city, including the game changing waterfront walkway-cycleway.
