Mayor of Rotorua
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.

Make sure public transport is more accessible, affordable and safe.
Promote walking and cycling and develop facilities to support active transport. Expand and maintain cycle and walking paths.
Review the budget for roadworks and get our roads up to standard.
Improve the car parking in the inner city. Remove the green cycleway in CDB to create more carparks. Introduce more disabled carparks.
Invest in roading infrastructure to keep our roads safe and free of potholes. I'm also against the overuse of speed bumps.
Make pedestrian and cycleways safe for cyclists going to work, school, or out for a ride. I support 'Bikes in Schools' education programs.
Improve transport options, by making walking, running, biking more accessible and safe, especially the links from city to forest.
Continue to improve shared paths through the city to help kids get to and from school safely.
Work with regional council to make sure that we have public transport that works for Rotorua and is accessible.
Remove the cycle lane that has compromised our CBD retailers.
Work with regional council to see how we can improve public transport participation rates.
Create more bus stops in town, so there is better distribution of foot traffic around the CBD.

Support the government's new Sustainable Public Transport Framework which allows councils to own and customise bus services.
Push for policy research to evaluate and project demand and then plan local network efficiencies using different sized electric buses.
Support and encourage public transport, cycling routes and walking. Develop a strategy to replace council fleet with electric/hydrogen ones.

Connect and develop walkways and plantings for around the lakes.
A bus system that loops around the boundaries of the city as a hop on hop off during business hours.
Free parking in town to encourage more people to come. Remove the cycleways to around the city perimeters to increase parking for shoppers.
Pedestrianise city streets to bring a safe walking and shopping experience. Use hop on hop off buses to remove congestion.
