File No.: CP2019/00984
Te take mō te pūrongo
Purpose of the report

Whakarāpopototanga matua
Executive summary
2. This report provides information about delivery of projects related the Rodney Local Board Transport Targeted Rate.
3. No decisions are required for the Rodney Local Board to approve. This report provides a summary of progress as follows:
· The communications and marketing programme and activities have been implemented to adequately inform the relevant people and organisations of the bus services.
· Bus services:
o All tasks required to implement the Wellsford-Warkworth (998) and Helensville- Silverdale (128) services have been completed to commence these services on 24 February as scheduled.
o The implementation of the 126 service is likely to be further delayed. Nevertheless, Auckland Transport is investigating whether this delay could be reduced or avoided.
· The pre-implementation of the design phase of the park and ride facilities has been commenced. That is, more detailed designs, consenting requirements and costs are to be developed.
· Designs for new bus stops have been approved by Auckland Transport’s Traffic Control Committee.
· For the Westgate – Albany (126) service, the design of new bus stops has been completed and submitted to the Rodney Local Board for consultation.
· Customers would need to purchase and top up HOP cards in Warkworth or purchase pre-paid cards elsewhere and then use the online top-up or auto-top up options.
· To date, approximately $4.17m of the targeted rate has been collected and expenditure approximately $114,000.
· The costs of the Wellsford-Warkworth (998) service is approximately $520,000 per annum and the cost of the Helensville-Silverdale (128) service is approximately $750,000 per annum. The indicative cost estimate for the Westgate-Albany service is $405,00.
Recommendation/s That the Rodney Local Board Transport, Infrastructure and Environment Committee: a) note the progress of the delivery of passenger transport services and related infrastructure funded through RLB Transport Targeted Rate. |
Horopaki
Context
4. In May 2018 the Rodney Local Board (RLB) approved recommended that the Governing Body strike a targeted rate to accelerate investment in the passenger transport services in the Rodney Local area. The rate was approved in June 2018.
5. In August 2018 a workshop was held to discuss options for prioritising delivery of projects. The results of this workshop were the following targeted rate projects:
· A new bus service from Wellsford to Warkworth
· A new bus service from Helensville to Silverdale (Hibiscus Coast Station) via Kaukapakapa
· Riverhead bus services
· Building park and ride facilities at Warkworth and at Huapai or Kumeu.
6. In September 2018 the RLB approved the use of the targeted rate funding to investigate and design the above projects.
7. Subsequently, the Riverhead bus service expanded into a bus service between Westgate and Albany (via Riverhead and Coatesville).
8. The details of the above three bus services were presented to the Rodney Local Board Transport, Infrastructure and Environment Committee (RLBTIEC) at a workshop in October 2018.
9. The report is a summary of progress at 7 February 2019.
Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu
Analysis and advice
Communications and Marketing
11. Communication material has been developed and scheduled for distribution to the relevant media publications, targeted social media platforms and including material for the visually impaired.
12. Brochures, posters and advertising material have also been developed and delivered to local libraries, service centres, businesses, community organisations and schools.
13. An information day is scheduled to be held in Wellsford on Friday 15 February 2019. Preparations for this event are in hand and progressing on schedule.
Bus Routes
14. All tasks required to finalise and implement the Wellsford-Warkworth (998) and Helensville- Silverdale (128) services have been completed to commence these services on 24 February as scheduled.
15. The implementation of the 126 service between Westgate and Albany was initially scheduled for implementation in mid-April 2019 but was deferred to June 2019. The service details and contract with the bus company could not be finalised by the 10 January deadline needed to launch an April service. A number of issues (related to the Dairy Flat Highway/Coatesville Riverhead Highway) could not be resolved within this timeframe.
16. The implementation of the 126 service is likely to be further delayed to August 2019. There are several projects related to the upgrade of the new network services that have higher priority. Nevertheless, the Auckland Transport (AT) Metro team is investigating whether a June implementation date can be achieved.
17. Following the implementation of the 998 and 128 services, a review of the services connecting at Warkworth will be undertaken. The key issues that will considered are as follows:
· Whether the 998 and 995 services could be combined to a single service between Wellsford and Hibiscus Coast Station via Warkworth.
· The rationalisation of all routes (including the 996 and 997 services) to ensure that passengers using the park and ride site at 80 Great North Road experience minimum delay.
Park and Ride Facilities
18. The AT Planning and Investment Group has undertaken an investigation of four sites, as follows:
· Design and operational information and initial cost estimates on the three park and ride layouts assessed at the Warkworth park and ride site.
· Information and initial cost estimates on three pocket park and ride sites in the Kumeu-Huapai area.
19. The pre-implementation of the design phase has been commenced, that is, more detailed designs, consenting requirements and costs are to be developed.
Bus Stops
20. The designs for new bus stops for Wellsford-Warkworth (998) and Helensville-Silverdale (128) services were completed at the end of December 2018 and internal consultation with AT’s groups were undertaken in January.
21. The resolutions for the new bus stops were conditionally approved by AT’s Traffic Control Committee (TCC) on condition that AT is to send out letters informing directly-affected residents of the impending changes. These letters (on behalf of the RLB) were to be delivered in the week beginning 11 February 2019.
22. For the Westgate – Albany (126) service, the design of new bus stops has been completed and submitted to the RLB for consultation.
AT HOP Card
23. The AT Hop team has reviewed the option of setting up a top-up retailer in Wellsford. The costs of setting up the machine and ongoing maintenance of the machine is high. It is unlikely to be a feasible option due to the unknown usage.
24. Customers could top up in Warkworth or purchase pre-paid cards and then use the online top-up or auto-top up options.

Council group impacts and views
25. At this stage, there are no direct impacts on Council groups and feedback is not required
Ngā whakaaweawe ā-rohe me ngā tirohanga a te poari ā-rohe
Local impacts and local board views
Auckland Transport consultations
26. The RLB has been kept informed and updated with details of the scheduled services and related infrastructure.
27. The key impacts are related to the construction of the new bus stops. Due to the tight timeframe to implement the services, consultation was only undertaken with directly-affected property owners. The design plans were also reviewed by RLB members.

Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea
Financial implications
30. Expenditure will increase once the new bus stops are constructed, park and ride investigations are undertaken and bus services are commenced.
31. The costs of the Wellsford-Warkworth (998) service is approximately $520,000 per annum and the cost of the Helensville-Silverdale (128) service is approximately $750,000 per annum.
32. Based on the above figures, the indicative cost estimate for the Westgate-Albany (126) service is $405,00.
33. Costs for footpaths adjoining the new bus stops will be developed with the construction of the new bus stops.
Ngā raru tūpono me ngā whakamaurutanga
Risks and mitigations
34. The negotiations with bus operators for the Westgate-Albany (126) service will be undertaken after the Wellsford-Warkworth (998) and Helensville-Silverdale (128) services have commenced. Operators will have data on actual operating costs and the cost of the Westgate-Albany (126) service could be higher than expected.
35. The AT Metro workload with regard to the new network projects could mean a delay in implementing the 126 service. AT Metro is investigating whether these negotiations could be raised in the priority list.
36. It is noted that the construction upgrade of the Dairy Flat Highway/Coatesville Riverhead Highway could cause delays to the 126 service. Due to the short turnaround time, any significant delay could adversely impact the proposed 90-minute schedule. The service run times will therefore be monitored. If the delays mean that the 90-minute service cannot be achieved, consideration will be given to extending the service to 120 minutes until the construction has been completed.

Next steps
37. Auckland Transport will provide another update report to the local board next month.
