GWRC: Save the Tawa On Demand bus service!
This campaign has ended.
We urge you to continue the Tawa On Demand bus service, or a service like it for Tawa, and to advocate for central government funding for public transport connections within Tawa.
Why is this important?
The Tawa On Demand bus service provides vital access to local services for those living up on our steep hills, and enables a car-free commute for those working in town. It supports families and people with limited mobility, reduces traffic and emissions, and improves social cohesion. The service has exceeded expectations, with consistent usage and 96% customer satisfaction.
Without continued support from GWRC, the service will have to stop at the end of this year. We’re asking GWRC to commit to funding sustainable public transport within Tawa - whether that’s the existing Tawa On Demand service, a scheduled service, or a mixture of the two, and to asking the Government to help out.
