Wimmera Transport Connections
The Wimmera Transport Connections Program aims to provide better opportunities for participation in community life for people with limited access to transport.
The $22.8m investment (2010 2014) supports communities to find ways to use existing transport more effectively as well as developing new ways to increase access to education, employment, health and social opportunities.
Individual projects are coordinated through local partnerships to increase opportunities for communities to participate in decision making and priority setting. These partnerships also ensure the initiatives developed are appropriate for the local community. Innovative approaches include active transport, virtual access to services and shared use of private transport.
The Victorian Government funds 34 Transport Connections projects across Victoria involving rural, regional and interface council areas.
The Wimmera Transport Connections Project operates in the Shires of Hindmarsh, West Wimmera, Yarriambiack and Horsham Rural City Council. The projects we have been involved with include the Donald to Horsham bus service, the Warracknabeal to Horsham Wednesday bus service, the Melbourne Medical Companion Project, the Melbourne Medical Map, the Kaniva Volunteer Taxi Service and the Wimmera Transport Directory.
The input of community members in the Wimmera Region is important to the success of the Wimmera Transport Connections Project. If you have any comments you would like to make about any transport related matters in your area, please contact us
