Ways To Go - Haerenga Pai travel survey

We're undertaking a travel survey to help us guide changes to the ways patients, staff and visitors get to and from Waikato Hospital and the Waiora CBD building on Alexandra Street in Hamilton.

The 'Ways To Go' Haerenga Pai feedback process aims to get an accurate picture of what people think about their current transport options, their experiences and to gather ideas on how to make things better for everyone.

Feedback will be sought via surveys and focus groups.

The survey runs throughout the month of May.

You can complete the 'Ways To Go' survey by clicking this link.

Everyone who completes the survey can enter a draw to win a $30 supermarket voucher to be won. Winners will be contacted after the survey finishes.

The 'Ways to Go' Haerenga Pai survey will help us learn about how people get around so we can make the experience better for everyone.

We know that travelling to the Waikato Hospital campus and our Waiora CBD site can be stressful for some patients and visitors, which is resulting in missed or cancelled appointments.

The current heavy reliance on private cars is also a problem for those on low incomes, or with mental and physical disabilities who need to access health care, but lack affordable travel options.

High traffic volumes around the Hospital are causing localised congestion which is putting pressure on parking facilities and negatively impacting our neighbours on surrounding streets.

We want to change all of this, and the 'Ways To Go' Haerenga Pai travel survey will help us get there.

This is a joint project involving Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency, Hamilton City Council and Waikato Regional Council.

Your input will feed into wider transport planning which aims to improve and increase sustainable transport options, reduce reliance on cars, and help people to find different ways to get to Waikato Hospital.

This could include more walking and cycling options, changes to bus schedules or carpooling incentives for staff.  

All answers to this survey are anonymous and all data provided is protected under the Privacy Act.

There are a number of ways you can complete the survey.
