Selwyn District 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 pushing for equitable government funding in buses and mass rapid transit, comparable to that received by Auckland and Wellington.
Trial "slow" streets in residential areas, so that all ages and abilities can move around safely, with or without cars.
Advocate for more passenger and freight rail, with stations and intermodal hubs at regular points along the Midland and Main South Lines.
Ensure we build the Rolleston flyover right first time.
Increase environmentally-friendly public transport.
Ensure that my request for cycleway projects be investigated in the annual plan to bring the timeframes forward, instead of out to 2050, as are currently.
Support mode shift and ensure suitable facilities are available to facilitate this.
Continue to support road safety initiatives, such as 'Road to Zero' programme.
Review the budget with Waka Kotahi to improve the quality of the roads and footpaths in Rolleston.
Redevelop accessibility, parking and trafiic congestion around local schools. Liase with the Ministry of Education to promote road safety.
Review the flyover proposal for Rolleston. Retain the current linkage to and from Rolleston allowing better pedestrian and bicycle access.
