Abstract

This report discusses research completed related to rural community transport providers across the Waikato region. It includes information gathered from providers and associated information on other transport options and demographic and socio-economic status of residents in minor urban and rural communities.

A mixture of qualitative and quantitative data is used to support findings with a focus on a survey approach (quantitative) combined with a three case studies (qualitative) which provided more in-depth information from a range of community transport providers.

The survey sourced information from providers related to the service purpose, type (such as member only), accessibility (days/times and physical accessibility), funding, and common concerns and opportunities identified by service providers. Community transport providers surveyed included those who provided transport to the general public (including social and community services, health providers, and training centres), and those that provided transport to their own membership groups such as RSAs and aged-care facilities.
