Horizons Regional Council is asking people for their ideas on how public transport can connect the dots between communities living in and beyond the region.
Horizons passenger transport committee chairman Sam Ferguson says the Regional Services Review, running until September 11, is a chance to imagine the future of regional public transport.
“Many towns and cities dotted throughout the Horizons region are growing, leading to increased movement of people between those areas and into neighbouring regions. However, many people lack options for making those trips,” he says.
“Our vision for this review is for people to tell us what connections they make and why they make them. This will ensure future public transport routes give people the options they want to get to where they need to go.”
Horizons transport manager Mark Read says the Regional Services Review was committed to in Horizons’ latest Regional Public Transport Plan. The plan guides the delivery and design of public transport services, information and infrastructure in the Horizons region.
