Waikato Regional 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/accelerate the work I have already done to achieve small public bus links within and between towns in Thames Coromandel/Hauraki.
Ensure the bold plan to make Waikato public bus carbon emissions "negative" by 2027 is achieved. Actively encourage zero-emission vehicles.
Focus on reducing transport emissions. This is where the regional council has responsibility and can strongly influence outcomes.
Build relationship with Transit NZ to ensure road links between communities are maintained during storm and flooding events.
Cut through red tape and improve policy on harbour access to ensure coastguard and emergency services have all tide access.
Support third party community transport without increased targeted rates.
