The ACT government is asking for community feedback on the future of the ACT Government’s Sustainable Transport Action Plan 2010-2016.

“Through this plan the Government is looking to engage Canberrans on the future of our city and where they see the key public transport corridors – corridors for frequent services, which run 15 minutes or better during the peak and day period.”

The Plan includes designs for Rapid, Frequent Local, Peak and Coverage services, where:

• Rapid services are frequent and fast all day with services every 15 minutes or better and less stops, similar to the current inter-town bus routes;
• Frequent Local services have many stops, serve continuous high-density areas, connect to rapid services at town centres and major centres, like the current services on Northborne Ave;
• Peak Express are non-stop services from town centres to worksites, operating in peak commuter hours only, similar to the current Xpresso services; and
• Coverage services are all-day service every 30-60 minutes, covering low-density areas where relatively low patronage is inevitable. They connect all suburbs to their nearest town centre.

A sustainable transport survey is also available online from: http://www.sustainabletransport.act.gov.au/.
