Funding
Waikato Community Transport Fund
The Waikato Regional Council Community Transport Grant Fund is designed to support community transport initiatives within the Waikato region. This fund aims to enhance accessibility and mobility for residents, particularly in rural areas where public transport options may be limited. The grant provides financial assistance to community transport providers, enabling them to offer essential transport services for health, education, and social purposes. By supporting these initiatives, the fund helps ensure residents can continue to live in rural areas while accessing the services they need.
