Tuggeranong Community Council | Rapid Routes not catching on fast

The Rapid Routes are receiving good patronage, however the number of overall journeys originating in Tuggeranong are down compared with the same period in the previous year.

Community feedback is suggesting the extended travel time using the suburban collection routes, and distance between homes and the nearest Rapid stop, is making bus travel less popular.

Improved park and ride stops to accommodate more cars, providing secure bike storage and better footpath access are proposals to attract more travellers to the bus network.

Transport changes are among the issues for which the Tuggeranong Community Council will advocate in future discussions with the ACT government and other bodies.

We are interested in knowing what you consider to be the most important issues affecting our community and what changes could be made to make Tuggeranong a better place to live.

Your feedback will help inform the council on the key issues of concern to residents, and will be used in our discussions with government.

You are invited to complete our on-line survey available at www.tuggeranong.org.au

At 7.30pm on Tuesday, February 4 at the Vikings Town Centre Club, Dave Burnet, ACT Manager of OzHarvest, will be speaking at the first council meeting for the year.

OzHarvest is the first perishable food rescue organisation in Australia collecting quality excess food from commercial outlets and delivering it, direct and free of charge, to 500 charities, providing much needed assistance to vulnerable men, women and children.
