Tasman 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.

Support more localised roading maintenance positions.
Support implementation of the Walking and Cycling Strategy.
Encourage more innovative solutions to future proof transport systems.
Discuss transport in light of up to date knowledge/information around social/ecological wellbeing, resource management and sustainability.
Rationalise long-term viability of currently proposed alternatives to fossil fuelled transport. Perform life-cycle analysis of all options.
Revisit all our needs, goals and barriers. The proposed debt, exploitation and money free society enables new transport opportunities.
Support extension of public transport to Wakefield and Mapua.
Continue to work with South Island regional transport committees to enhance connectivity and roading resilience.
Support funding to implement the Walking and Cycling Strategy.
Stop under spending on roads to build cycle ways. It is unrealistic to expect our rural communities to cycle to town with their produce.
Stop building bus networks that were out of date 20 years ago. The future of transport is not buses.
Start planning for self driving vehicles and how that might shape our towns with different demands on infrastructure.
