Rural transport projects, such as‘Ring-a-Link',have a key role to play in providing public transport services
and in providing access to the services located in towns. Rural bus services play a vital social role in urban and rural communities,
linking rural areas with settlements and essential services, such as schools and healthcare facilities. Bus services, both public and private, will continue to be the principal form of public transportation service in the region.
To improve the effectiveness of rural transport services, the following measures are required:(-a) Improved connectivity to interregional bus services at connection points.
b) Development and use of new technology to support demand response services. PPO 5. 6 The Regional Authority will support the provision and sustainable expansion of rural transport services across the region.
