Notice of Motion - Call to Oppose Electric Cars in Bus Lanes

 

Resolution number AE/2016/88

MOVED by Member GD Easte, seconded by Deputy Chairperson GJ Fryer:  

That the Albert-Eden Local Board:

a)      Receives the Notice of Motion – Call to Oppose Electric Cars in Bus Lanes.

b)      Notes;

i.        the Government’s recently stated intention of allowing electric cars to use bus lanes as one of a set of initiatives to increase the uptake and use of such vehicles

ii.       that Bus Priority Lanes and the Northern Busway have made a significant contribution to increasing public transport patronage over the last 14 years

iii.      that Auckland Transport intends to improve existing bus priority lanes and significantly increase the number of them over the next few years

iv.      that allowing even small numbers of cars to use the bus lanes or the busway would undermine their effectiveness by impeding buses, leading to increased passenger journey times and reducing bus drivers’ ability to keep to schedule

v.       that allowing cars to use the bus lanes or the busway would undermine their enforcement

vi.      that the final decision on allowing electric cars into bus lanes is the prerogative of the relevant operator – in the Auckland Region the on-road bus priority lanes are operated by Auckland Transport and the Northern Busway is operated by the Northern Motorway Alliance, a subsidiary of New Zealand Transport Agency.

c)      Urges Auckland Transport and the New Zealand Transport Agency to protect the integrity of existing and future Bus Lanes by resisting efforts to allow their use by electric cars.

d)      Requests that these resolutions be circulated to the Mayor and Governing Body Members and other Local Boards.
