Plain-English summary
The draft Regional Public Transport Plan sets the proposed direction for Bay of Plenty bus and public-transport services from 2026 to 2036. It will guide later decisions about priorities, investment and service planning rather than making immediate route or timetable changes.
The Council particularly wants feedback on the region's biggest public-transport challenges, what matters most for successful services and whether bus-priority measures such as bus lanes should be supported.
Why it matters
The plan will guide future public-transport priorities, investment and service planning across the Bay of Plenty.
It covers accessibility, network growth, reliability, emissions, integration with land use and value for money.
Who may care
- Current and potential bus or public-transport users
- Residents, iwi, community groups, transport operators, councils and employers across the Bay of Plenty
How to make a submission
- Read either the shorter consultation document or the full draft plan.
- Submit online, by email, by post or at a Bay of Plenty Regional Council office.
- Feedback must arrive by 4pm on Thursday 6 August 2026.
