The Nelson Tasman Community Transport Trust (NTCTT) is conducting a study to assess the needs for transport in the Tasman community, particularly Motueka and surrounding area and Tapawera. Last year, the trust established a service between Wakefield and Richmond to help people without a means of transportation to reach out further within their area or to Richmond.

Our vision is of efficient, accessible and sustainable passenger transport services in the Nelson Tasman region which particularly benefit people living in the outlying settlements.

To establish a useful service, we need you to tell us in a short survey what will be the key criteria and places that would most efficiently get the service you deserve and need within your area. (Link to the survey: forms.gle...)

Please return the surveys to I-Site Motueka, The Motueka Guardian, or in the reception area of the Tapawera school by the 22nd June 2020.

Following this process, we would like to invite you to participate in a community conversation on either the 23rd, 24th from 10.30 am or 25th June, from 5.30 pm at the Community Hall in Motueka or the 24th at 4.30 pm and 25th June at 2 pm at Tapawera School (limited places - contact us to book your place or leave your details at the end of the survey or contact details below), that will help to shape the service in more details, with opportunities to voice your ideas and concerns.

Please note, these details will be kept safe within our trust for the purpose of this study.

If you would like more information about this survey or register for the focused conversations in Motueka and Tapawera, please contact Nathalie at admin@ntctt.org.nz, or message us via our Facebook page @NTCommunityTransport, by phone/ text on 0204 196 0553 or every Tuesday between 10.30 am to 1.30 pm at Motropolis - Wallace street - Motueka. We will also be present at the Motueka Market on Sunday mornings till the 21st of June.

Barnaby Sharp Reporter from The Nelson Mail
