Hamilton City Council
Transport
Helping communities get from A to B is a key responsibility of local government, from making sure the buses run on time to providing car parking and walking and cycling paths. Whether public transport is the responsibility of the regional or local council depends on where you are in the country. Local councils also own 87% of New Zealand’s roads.

Improve bus services and routes to make public transport more reliable and easy to use.
Build safer walking and cycling paths across the city, especially around schools and busy roads.
Upgrade road networks and intersections to cut congestion and improve safety for all road users.
Let people choose how they travel and stop social engineering through anti-car policies.
Stop wasting money on cycleways, speed bumps and parking cuts that slow everyone down.
Focus transport budgets on fixing potholes, resurfacing roads and upgrading key routes.
Cut the number of road cones because traffic management has got out of hand and wastes money by using commonsense and focusing on value.
Remove in-lane bus stops because they are not about safety or better transport but are simply anti-car; remove speed bumps.
Be pro-cycling but not anti-car by implementing sensible cycle safety measures where there are enough cyclists and not creating more cycleways that nobody uses.
Focus on repairing and maintaining existing roads before starting costly new projects.
Improve traffic flow by removing unnecessary speed bumps and in-lane bus stops.
Invest in road safety measures that are effective and value for money.
Maintain and improve roading and path infrastructure and ensure designs are functional, adaptable and reduce conflict between road users.
Reverse the transformational changes designed to punish automobile users by removing features such as raised crossings and in-lane bus stops.
Stop attempts to use smart city technologies and associated ideologies to monitor and manage the travel behaviour of people.
Design a review plan for speed bumps, raised platforms and in-lane bus stops that identifies a cost-effective way to reduce, remove or keep them.
Explore the relationship between the airport and HCC to understand how to make it commercial so Hamilton benefits from an income source.
Work with neighbouring councils to optimise the bus network and bus options between councils to encourage easier commuting and movement.
Collaborate with Waikato Regional Council to roll out more frequent, efficient and convenient bus routes like the Meteor.
Advocate for an extension of Te Huia, increasing regional reach to Tauranga as part of the Golden Triangle.
