Regional Public Transport Plan

 

Greater Wellington Regional Council is developing a Regional Public Transport Plan.

The purpose of the plan, as set out in the Public Transport Management Act, is to:

• specify how Greater Wellington will give effect to the public transport aspects of the Regional Land Transport Strategy (RLTS); and
• contribute to achieving an affordable, integrated, safe, responsive and sustainable land transport system.

The plan is a key tool in delivering one of the community outcomes set out in Greater Wellington's 10-year Plan 2009-2019 - "a well-patronised public transport network that helps people get around the region easily and reduces road congestion". The plan will set ou the public transport objectives, policies and methods that Greater Wellington proposes to ensure the region can give effect to the RLTS and achieve this outcome.

The plan will primarily be an update and realignment of the existing Regional Passenger Transport Plan to better support the design and development of an integrated public transport network and comply with current legislation and policies.

The first step development of the plan is preparation of a discussion document. This will be available in March 2010.
