1. INTRODUCTION This Statement of Intent (SOI) sets out Auckland Transport‟s strategic approach and priorities for the next three-years and how they contribute to the longer-term outcomes Auckland Council seeks to achieve. As Auckland‟s leading strategic document, it is essential that Auckland Transport‟s SOI gives effect to the Auckland Plan. The outcomes framework which forms the foundation of this SOI is based on three primary sources: 1. Auckland Transport‟s legislative purpose 1 ; 2. The vision, outcomes, strategic directions and priorities set out in Auckland Council‟s Auckland Plan; and 3. The Mayor‟s Letter of Expectation. Auckland Transport’s functions and obligations Auckland Transport is a council-controlled organisation (CCO) of Auckland Council. It was established on 1 November 2010 under section 38 of the Local Government (Auckland Council) Act 2009. Auckland Transport has a number of statutory obligations set out over a variety of different statutes. Auckland Transport is responsible for all of the region‟s transport services (excluding state highways) – from roads and footpaths, to cycling, parking and public transport. In addition, Auckland Transport is responsible for preparing the Regional Land Transport Programme for Auckland in accordance with the Land Transport Management Act 2003. Auckland Transport’s partnership with Auckland Council This SOI recognises the important partnership between Auckland Transport and Auckland Council in the delivery of shared outcomes, and that the success of each organisation is dependent on the actions of the other partner. This includes: A commitment to collaboration; A commitment to openness and transparency; Adhering to a “no surprises” policy; and Engaging with other CCOs to ensure a coordinated approach. In particular, Auckland Transport‟s ability to successfully deliver on the Programme of Action (as outlined in section 3) and performance targets set out in this SOI relies on the Council providing a supportive policy and regulatory environment, and making sufficient funds available to enable the necessary transport investments and services to be implemented in a timely manner. Auckland’s “One Transport System” The “one system” approach is of particular importance to Auckland Transport‟s operations. The one system approach will improve the connectivity and integration of the transport system by ensuring that: the networks of the different transport modes are connected and integrated to function as a single system i.e. the State Highway and regional arterial road networks are integrated to function as one system; and modal services are integrated to provide a seamless transport experience. 1 Under section 39 of the Local Government (Auckland Council) Act 2009, the purpose of Auckland Transport is “to contribute to an effective and efficient land transport system to support Auckland's social, economic, environmental, and cultural well-being”. 3
