The Tasmanian Government has delivered a new Claremont Park and Ride facility, providing better access to public transport and more options for Claremont residents travelling into Hobart’s CBD.
Tasmanian Minister for Infrastructure and Transport, Kerry Vincent, said the new facility has delivered 239 car spaces, including six disability accessible spaces, and 12 dedicated motorcycle spaces.
“Claremont’s new park and ride facility will make it easier for people to use public transport to get to the CBD,” Minister Vincent said.
“For those who wheel, walk or ride, the facility also includes bicycle storage spaces and provides a direct connection to the intercity cycleway.
“An important part of our 2030 Strong Plan for Tasmania’s Future is to develop stronger communities and enhance our regions, and that’s exactly what park and rides deliver,” he said.
Planning is now underway for a new park and ride facility in Rokeby, with an update expected later this year.
“With each new facility we are providing more communities across Greater Hobart with additional travel choices and improved access to public transport,” said Mr Vincent.
