Our vision for public transport
In recent months, we have been finalising the draft of our Regional Public Transport Plan (RPTP), talking to key stakeholders in Otago.
The vision we shared is for an...
Inclusive, accessible, and innovative public transport that connects Otago and contributes positively to our community, environment and economy.
The RPTP is a strategic document that guides the planning and delivery of public transport services and infrastructure in Otago. It sets out the vision, objectives and policies for our public transport system for the next 10 years from 2021 to 2031.
We worked with a number of stakeholders including city and district councils, Waka Kotahi (NZ Transport Agency) as well as community boards, groups and associations in Dunedin and Queenstown.
Have your say
The draft of this 10-year plan will open for consultation for three weeks from 12pm on Monday 3 May, 2021 until 12pm on Monday 24 May, 2021.
You'll be able to read the draft plan and make a submission from 3 May at https://yoursay.orc.govt.nz/rptp-2021-31. Copies will also be available at ORC offices as well as district and city councils. Call us on 0800 474 082 if you need help.
