Figure 2.1: Plans and strategies relationships to the Auckland Regional Land Transport Programme National Policy, Strategies and Legislation Auckland Regional Growth Strategy (50 years) Regional Policy Statement KiwiRail’s proposed Rail Network Development Plan (10 years) (as it relates to Auckland) Regional Land Transport Strategy (30 years) Auckland Transport Plan (Long-term (10-20-30 years) Multi-modal Integrated Implementation Plan) Regional Public Transport Plan Sustainable Transport Plan Regional Arterial Road Plan Regional Road Safety Plan KiwiRail’s Plan DART Long Term Council Community Plans New Zealand Transport Agency proposals Transport Strategies/District Plans Auckland Regional Land Transport Programme (tri-annual programme) Recommends Auckland priorities for government transport funding Transport projects are generally funded from two sources – local funds and central government funds. The latter is made available by the NZTA to “Approved Organisations”. ARTA is an Approved Organisation and, by legislation, must prepare the RLTP, covering transport activities of the Auckland local authorities, the NZTA HNO and ARTA. The regional public transport provider An effective, integrated public transport system is critical to the development of the region. ARTA has responsibility for regional public transport planning and management. Funding for public transport infrastructure and operations is sought through the Auckland RLTP, going through the same evaluation and prioritisation process as for other transport activities. It is important to note that in Auckland not all the funding for land transport is channelled through the RLTP. Figure 2.2 summarises the funding streams for land transport in the Auckland region and highlights the land transport activities and funding sources comprising this RLTP. 3
Figure 2.2: Funding streams for land transport in Auckland Treasury NZTA Local share by ARC and TAs: rates, tolls, developer contributions, etc. TAs KiwiRail rail network below track ARTA rail network above track and rolling stock State highways Local roads Passenger transport services (all modes) and non-rail infrastructure TDM, walk, cycle Nonsubsidised local roads Auckland RLTP Note: Funding stream for electric trains has yet to be formally agreed by the Government. ARTA’s Partners ARTA is not the implementing agency in many cases, especially for roading, and rail track and signalling projects. Therefore working with our partners and stakeholders is crucial for successful regional transport outcomes. One of ARTA’s primary aims is to improve the integration of transport activities amongst the various agencies in the Auckland region. In order to achieve this, ARTA has established strong collaborative relationships with agencies in the Auckland region and nationally, as described below. Territorial Authorities There are seven territorial authorities in the Auckland region: Auckland City Council, Franklin District Council, Manukau City Council, North Shore City Council, Papakura District Council, Rodney District Council and Waitakere City Council. The territorial authorities control the roads in their areas, and are responsible for their upkeep and improvement. ARTA has developed close relationships with the territorial authorities, and provides advice on how their plans fit with regional objectives. The Auckland Regional Council (ARC) The ARC is the sole shareholder of ARTA. It provides funding for the majority of the expenditure for ARTA’s activities. ARTA annually submits a budget for public transport infrastructure and services to the ARC for inclusion in its Annual Plan. New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA) The NZTA was formed in August 2008 by amalgamating Land Transport New Zealand, which was responsible for managing the National Land Transport Programme and allocating transport funding nationally on behalf of central government, with Transit New Zealand, which was responsible for managing the State highway network across the country. NZTA HNO now submits its State highway programme to ARTA for inclusion in the RLTP. ARTA applies to the NZTA for funding of the Auckland RLTP (including ARTA’s activities). ARTA is working closely with the NZTA to integrate State highway, local roading, public transport and walking and cycling projects and ensure its State highway plans integrate with regional objectives. Central Government The Ministry of Transport (MoT) releases the Government Policy Statement on land transport funding, undertakes reviews of Auckland’s transport capabilities and guides the development of future strategies nationwide. The Ministries of Economic Development, Education, Environment, Treasury and Health, the New Zealand Police and the Accident Compensation Corporation are also involved and have an interest in improving transport in the region. Central government also directly funds KiwiRail. KiwiRail (New Zealand Railways Corporation) KiwiRail is the owner and manager of Auckland’s rail corridors and provides the track and signalling systems on which passenger and freight train services operate. ARTA works closely with KiwiRail to ensure the seamless provision of rail services. Public Transport Service Providers A wide range of transport operators supply bus, ferry and train services either under contract to ARTA or commercially (i.e. no subsidy support from ARTA). 4
