Give us your feedback

Better Travel Choices for Taranaki sets out a series of ideas and options that respond to “The Road Ahead” regional transport conversation earlier this year. We want to have more people travelling by options other than the private car for more of their journeys and to succeed we must: 

• Support an active (walking, cycling and other active travel) and public transport system that provides safe, healthy and environmentally sustainable options for a range of journeys.
• Deliver a bus network that you can rely on, and which gives additional choice for more people, for a  wider range of journeys and
• Provide a public transport system that is well-integrated with other modes of transport.

Therefore, we need your assistance and are asking for feedback on the proposed Regional Public Transport Plan, including possible improvements to the bus network. We also want your feedback on the proposed Better Travel Choices for Taranaki strategy, around proposals to improve safe journeys for all pedestrians, cyclists and public transport users – especially for those with mobility and accessibility issues.
