Improve how you move and help shape the city’s public transport system by taking part in Ipswich City Council’s new iGO survey. You can even win a Visa cash card by telling us what you think.
The survey, which can be accessed here, will be used to inform the development of the iGO Public Transport Advocacy and Action Plan.
The plan will detail short, medium and long term policies and actions to support and enhance public transport across the city.
It will also be used by council to encourage the Queensland Government to improve public transport in Ipswich.
City Infrastructure spokesperson Councillor Cheryl Bromage said the iGO survey would help council understand why people did or did not use public transport.
As part of this community consultation process we want to identify who is using public transport and who is not, what is working and what is not, and importantly how we can encourage more people to use public transport.
We want to hear as many views as possible on public transport in Ipswich.
Cr Bromage said about six per cent of trips in Ipswich were made by public transport each day, with the majority of those being by train.
“Through iGO we want to see that increase to 11 per cent,” she said.
“This will equate to 165,000 trips per day being made on the city’s public transport network.”
The survey closes on Sunday, 26 November and you can win one of four $50 Visa gift cards just by sharing your experiences.
