Palmerston North and Whanganui public transport infrastructure is getting a facelift following a $9.2 million boost to the Horizons Region from Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency.
Horizons Regional Council, with Palmerston North City Council (PNCC) and Whanganui District Council (WDC), applied to the Transport Choices fund in September – a fund that welcomed applications looking to make public transport more reliable and easier to use, cycleways, and safety improvements to make it easier to walk around towns and to schools.
In total $7m would be spent enhancing infrastructure to support planned service improvements in Palmerston North in 2023.
