Better Transport for All Northlanders

To create truly accessible transport, I'd push for:

  1. Reliable Rural Services

  • Expand on-demand shuttle services connecting remote communities

  • Coordinate school/commuter bus routes to serve more villages

  1. Truly Accessible Urban Transport

  • Upgrade all buses with wheelchair ramps & priority seating

  • Install tactile footpaths and safe crossing points near hospitals/schools

  1. Integrated Solutions

  • Develop a single transport app with real-time updates for all services

  • Partner with community groups to provide subsidized rides for medical appointments

  1. Continuous Improvement

  • Establish a Transport Accessibility Panel with disabled and rural residents

  • Pilot e-bike share programs in town centers

Good transport shouldn't depend on owning a car. By focusing on flexibility and accessibility, we can connect all Northlanders to work, services and community.
