Resolution
number PKTPP/2018/248
MOVED by Member D Holm, seconded by Member A-M Coury:
That the Puketāpapa
Local Board:
a)
support the overarching purpose, objectives and outcomes
outlined in Regional Public Transport Plan (RPTP), as it will guide changes
to Auckland’s public transport system over the next ten-years;
b)
note that the RPTP is not a full transport plan for Auckland,
nor does it allocate budget to specific projects or programmes;
c)
note that the RPTP outlines the:
i)
changes that will be made to each specific public transport
service, and
ii)
policies and actions that will be used by Auckland Transport to
implement public transport planning, design, implementation and operation.
d)
support the key strategic driver for Auckland’s transport
system being guided by population growth, demographic change (for example
ageing population), environmental factors, and development in existing urban
areas and greenfield growth areas.
e)
support the position that to
increase the capacity of the transport network and provide customers with a
more reliable journey, adequate road corridor must be allocated to public
transport, active modes (e.g. cycling and walking) and alternative vehicle
share modes (such as car share,car pooling and bike share).
f)
note the key challenges and support the respective responses to
address them, in particular:
i)
increasing the contribution of the public transport system to
travel in Auckland overall;
ii)
enabling safe, convenient customer access to and from public
transport (first and last leg);
iii)
unreliable customer travel times; and
iv)
achieving value for money for customers
g)
seek that the following objectives for public and active transport,
from the Puketapapa Local Board Plan, are included in the RPTP:
i)
affordable
ii)
frequent
iii)
reliable
iv)
well-linked networks e.g. feeder services connecting to key
routes
v)
integrated modal options e.g. Park and Ride, bike racks on
buses and at key transport hubs
vi)
easily accessible from points of origin and destination and at
transfer points
vii)
attractive and comfortable
viii)
numerous public and active transport options available
ix)
inclusion of pollution reduction technologies
h)
provides the following specific feedback on the RPTP Focus
Areas:
i)
strongly support all Focus Areas
ii)
seek the addition of the following in Focus Area 2:
A) an
initiative that addresses accessibility barriers e.g. limited mobility,
language and financial limitations
B) an
initiative that addresses the need for reliability of service
iii) seek an amendment to the following initiatives in Focus
Area 2:
A)
to the walking and cycling
initiative to emphasise the need for dedicated, safe space for vulnerable
users
B)
to the Park and Ride initiative to add feeder services
iv) seek the inclusion of A
Low Carbon Transport Future as a fifth Focus Area.
i)
note concern that the local board had limited time in which to
consider this proposal and hear from local communities.
