Regional Public Transport Plan (RPTP)
Description
The Wellington Regional Public Transport Plan (RPTP) describes our long-term goals and objectives. It sets out our focus areas and actions that will help us achieve our goals. The RPTP is currently under review and is out for consultation between 3 March – 28 March 2025. We welcome your thoughts and feedback.
Have Your Say!
Following public consultation, the final RPTP will be presented to Greater Wellington Regional Council for adoption on 26 June 2025 and, subject to council direction, will be formally adopted for the 2025/2026 financial year.
We would like your feedback on specific questions we have in the development of this RPTP. Our consultation brochure gives key information relating to each question. As part of the consultation, we also request information about your public transport context which is optional. This information will give us a more informed picture of how our strategic focus areas, policies and key initiatives are viewed across the region.
You will also be provided with the opportunity to provide more comprehensive comments on the plan.
