The Otago Regional Public Transport Plan (RPTP) is strategic document that guides the planning and delivery of public transport services and infrastructure in Otago. It contains our vision and objectives which will guide the implementation of the plan from 2021 to 2031. It outlines progress since the last RPTP and talks to the challenges we face.

The vision “Inclusive, accessible, and innovative public transport that connects Otago and contributes positively to our community, environment and economy.” This vision is supported by key priorities which are customer focus, Environment and health, innovation and funding.

We are currently updating our RPTP. Consultation closed on 2 May 2025, and we are now processing the submissions. Public hearings and deliberations will be held in May, and we expect the Council to consider adopting the updated plan in June/July 2025.
