Perth and Kinross Council is inviting residents to share their views and experiences of local bus travel as part of a new consultation aimed at developing a transport model to help improve public transport across the region.
The consultation seeks input from anyone who currently uses, has previously used, or would like to use local bus services. Feedback gathered will play a vital role in designing a new, community-focused public transport model for Perth and Kinross that is integrated, accessible, reliable, efficient, and effective.
This initiative is part of the Council's Public Transport Transformation Project, which was approved by councillors to support the development of a proposed transport model to meet the needs of local communities now and in the future.
The aims of the project include:
- Reducing social and economic inequalities
- Tackling climate change
- Enhancing health and wellbeing
- Supporting an inclusive local economy
Council Leader, Councillor Grant Laing, said: "High-quality public transport is essential to our communities and economy, and our aim is to develop a transport model that truly meets the needs of our communities - both now and in the future.
"We want to understand how well current services are meeting passenger needs and how we can improve them.
"The input of residents is essential in shaping a public transport model that works for everyone. I encourage all residents to take a few minutes to complete this important consultation."
Economy and Infrastructure Committee Convener, Councillor Eric Drysdale, added: "By sharing their experiences, people can help us create a more efficient and user-friendly bus service. Get on board - join the conversation and help us transform public transport for our communities."
The consultation opens on Monday 19 May and will run until Friday 18 July. It is available online via the Council's Consultation Hub: https://consult.pkc.gov.uk
