What if we do nothing?    No sticky notes

Public Transport.         General tick of agreement
                          The current buses are too big
                          Change KPIs for bus service providers – (currently on-time based not
                          bums on seats). Change drivers’ behaviour from rushing to being
                          accommodating.
                          The Go card could be simpler with more avenues for people to buy
                          them
                          Develop water transport
                          Increased frequency makes PT more attractive
                          Free shuttle buses on weekends as well as holidays but only between
                          key tourism hot spots.
                          Make bus journeys a pleasant alternative.:-
                              - Smart location aware planning
                              - Free wifi access etc
                              - Fast lane
                          Bus needed into National Park to reduce parking demand
                          Small bus from Tewantin through to National Park

Park and Ride.            General tick and “yes” stickers
                          “Yes” to the picture of a small shuttle bus
                          “Yes” to buses that can carry bicycles
                          (surf) board racks on buses
                          Bus drivers not limiting kids with bikes and boards
                          3 x “yes” stickers on picture of the weekend park & ride with free bus
                          service
                          Cater to tourists and tourism/hospitality workers
                          Park and ride to include the ferry
                          Park & ride won’t be used if expensive
                          No “Wilson” parking fees
                          Park & ride for a nominal fee if also includes bus service
                          Smaller frequent buses
                          Regular and frequent shuttle buses
                          Remember small ‘blue” buses
                          As well as bus connections…boats/water transport & bike transport
                          option at car parks also.
                          In peak times, remove car parking along Noosa Parade and have a
                          dedicated bus lane.
                          “Noosa Civic” parking already too congested and only suits smaller
                          vehicles
                          Shorten stay time in key areas such as Hastings St from 2 hours to 1
                          hour and free parking further away with a shuttle

Active Transport.         General “Yes” of endorsement
                          Electric bikes
                          Electric bike charging stations
