Nelson City Council

Improve car, bike and public transport accessibility in Nelson.

Transition/add smaller more efficient van style buses that can provide service on a broader range of Nelson's landscape.

Add signage to the back of the buses that reminds others to give way to the bus. Buses must be on time to be viable for work commuters.

Power up our public transport! Increase access, frequency, convenience. Advocate for free fares, on-demand public transport and share cars.

Flip the transport hierarchy! Prioritise safety and ease for all active transport – walking, cycling, micro-mobility, accessibility.

Enable low speed streets for safe active transport corridors connecting our neighbourhoods, city centre, to/from schools, work places etc.

Invest in safe and improved cycleways and walkways.

Reassess our future access plan for more efficient traffic flow.

Better accessibility for parking in our CBD especially for disabled parking, and more loading zones.

Revitalise airport to showcase Nelson's unique multicultural welcoming community.

Enhance public transport offerings so that we can be less reliant on cars, but still facilitate good parking options and park and ride.

Investigate ferry services and extended bus services may enhance public transport and commuting.

Improve walking and cycling connections to and across our city.
