Resolution number INF/2014/19
MOVED
by Chairperson ME Lee, seconded by Deputy Chairperson C Darby:
That the Infrastructure Committee:
a) note
Journey to Work data from the 2013 Census, which shows a significant increase
in the use of public transport since the 2006 Census; note transport trends
in New Zealand show slowing growth in vehicle kilometres travelled since 2007
and reductions in vehicle kilometres travelled per capita; and note transport
trends in a number of developed world countries show declining vehicle
kilometres per capita in recent years and that literature suggests a
combination of both short-term and long-term causes behind these trends
b) support
these changing transport trends from private vehicles to public transport and
active transport being taken into account in the development of the
Infrastructure Strategy and the Integrated Transport Programme
c) request
council management to work with Auckland Transport to collate further travel
information to provide overlays for travel for educational purposes
d) forward
the presentation given by council staff to Auckland Transport for its
information.
