Regional Land Transport Strategy and Regional Public Transport Plan
The Regional Land Transport Strategy (the RLTS) has been prepared by the West Coast Regional Transport Committee, which is a committee of the West Coast Reigonal Council, in accordance with the requirements of the Land Transport Management Amendment Act 2008. Due to the limited nature of public transport on the West Coast, the first Regional Public Transport Plan (RPTP) for the Region is incorporated as Chapter 5 to the RLTS. The RPTP has been prepared in accordance with the Public Transport Management Act 2008.
The vision of the RLTS is for: A transportation system supporting increased prosperity, safety, and sustainable quality of life for current and future generations.
The RLTS was adopted and made operatve at a meeting of the West Coast Regional Council on 14 June 2011.
The Regional Transport Committee is made up of the four local authorities, New Zealand Transport Agency, a cultural representative, and one person representing each of the following objectives:
- Economic development;
- Safety and personal security;
- Public health;
- Access and mobility; and,
- Environmental sustainability.
