Chapter / Clause / Subclause – General 22 submitters - Waikato ...

Submission summary
pedestrian and public transport infrastructure and services can’t be
underestimated. The cost of living support such as benefits and residential care
subsidies have the potential to significantly contribute to a burgeoning growth in
costs to New Zealand's bottom line.
We ask that Council continue to advocate for increased funding for pedestrian
and public transport infrastructure to ensure that all people have access to the
transport system, including those with transport disadvantages.

Matter: PTP11-56.7
Summary: The information provided in the growth in population and travel
demand section is supported given that this is a key driver as well as a challenge
for public transport. Of particular relevance to Future Proof are the challenges of
future population growth and demographic change, which put pressure on the
transport system. Future Proof supports the references to development taking
place in a way that supports public transport and active modes. This aligns with
the Future Proof guiding principle that have development planned in a manner
that supports efficient public transport provision and reduced motor vehicle
dependence.
