Come along to GeogSoc’s draft Regional Public Transport Plan workshop and discuss the way forward for public transport in Ōtautahi with teams from Environment Canterbury and the Christchurch City Council!

When: Thursday 10 October, 3pm – 5pm

Where: F1 Lecture Theatre (Forestry)

Public transport influences urban design and development, and in turn impacts health and social wellbeing. Increasing patronage of public transport is also one way to reduce emissions and mitigate the effects of climate change. Environment Canterbury has just released the draft Regional Public Transport Plan for public feedback here.

Now is the time to learn more about how public transport is delivered collaboratively in the region with local Councils, NZTA and other partners, and find out how to have your say about this 10-year plan.
