Changes to the
draft LTP 2015-2025 Performance Measures and Targets for Transport Theme
File No.: CP2015/09922
Purpose
1. Recommend to the Governing Body that the changes to the Long-term
Plan 2015-2025 (LTP) transport performance measures and targets be adopted on
25 June 2015.
Executive Summary
1. Prior
to public consultation on the LTP, work was undertaken to ensure that there
were adequate and robust performance measures for the services undertaken by
Auckland Council. These were adopted by the Budget Committee on 5 November
2014.
2. Taking
into account recent performance trends and budget decisions, proposed revisions
to the transport measures and targets are:
a) increase in the public transport patronage targets
b) decrease in the target for road re-sealing.
3. The
increase in the public transport patronage targets have been increased due to
current growth in public transport boardings and the additional capital
expenditure from the Accelerated Transport Programme.
4. The
decrease in the target for the percent of the sealed local road network that is
resurfaced is due to an error in the calculation included in the draft LTP.
5. The
following tables outline the proposed changes:

Comments
6. As
part of continuous improvement, Auckland Council departments and Auckland
Transport have undertaken further reviews on the current performance measures
and targets since the draft document. The focus is to ensure that measures are
relevant and provide the community with meaningful information about how
successfully the council group delivers services.
7. A review of the impact of the additional $523 million capital
expenditure over the first three years of the LTP as part of the Accelerated
Transport Programme has identified the following areas where targets need to be
adjusted.
Public transport patronage
8. The
targets for public transport patronage have been adjusted to reflect the
additional funding for bus lanes, double decker buses and bus stops.
9. The
revised targets also reflect the positive performance over the past 12 months.
The impact of introducing integrated ticketing across the whole public
transport system has generated more boardings than forecast. Improved train
timetables and the introduction of electric trains, improved
bus and ferry capacity and improved bus reliability and punctuality have also contributed to strong patronage growth. As a result,
forecast patronage for the current 2014/15 year is 79.4 million, which is an
additional 5.7 million boardings from the 73.7 million Annual Plan 2014/15
target.
10. The
following table shows the revised patronage targets, and the graph below shows
the difference in the targets over the next 10 years.

Sealed local road network that is
resurfaced
12. A
review of the road re-sealing programme has shown that the road re-sealing
targets in the consultation document and Auckland Transport’s Statement of
Intent (SOI) were incorrectly calculated. The actual level of re-sealing in 2013/2014
was 7.6%, not 10% as stated in the consultation document, and the targets set
in the consultation document would not be achievable within the basic funding
package. The additional funding available for renewals will enable a slight
improvement over the 2013/2014 level of activity, but the targets will need to
be adjusted down as shown in the following table.
