Subject: Official Information request - One Network Framework
classification of all Metro Rail lines as rapid transit

 

Dear New Zealand Transport Agency,

 

The Waka Kotahi One Network Framework (ONF) includes the following
statement:

"By definition, all Metro Rail lines would be classified as PT1 (highest
strategic significance) as they are considered rapid transit corridors
irrespective of frequency, availability and or volume of people movement."

Source:
[6]https://aus01.safelinks.protection.outlo...

 

The One Network Framework also has published a "Movement and Place
Classification Discussion Document that includes ONF PT classifications
from PT1 to PT5. It states that PT1 are "Corridors where ‘rapid transit’
services are operated, providing a fast, frequent, highly reliable, and
high capacity form of urban transport along a dedicated PT corridor." with
"Corridor Headway (At peak)" as follows:

       Buses > 40 services per hour

       Rail > All Metro services

Source:https://aus01.safelinks.protection.outlo...

 

I am interested in understanding the ONF criteria for classifying public
transport (PT) services including why a PT service would assessed as being
"Rapid Transit" or not under the ONF.

 

1) Can Waka Kotahi please provide a copy of the ONF presentations, working

supporting material used to inform the sector of the high-level design of
the ONF, as well as gain feedback on the prioritisation of service
outcomes and performance measures as part of the Stage 2: Detailed design,
tools and integration development of the ONF ?

 

3) Can Waka Kotahi please provide a copy of any and all ONF reports that
discuss Metro Rail Lines and why they are all considered to be rapid
transit corridors under the ONF ?

 

4) Can Waka Kotahi please provide a copy of any and all ONF reports that
discuss the criteria to be used for assessing if a PT service (bus or
rail) is rapid transit ?

 

5) Can Waka Kotahi please provide a copy of any and all ONF reports that
discuss why "Buses > 40 services per hour" are considered rapid transit
and bus services ">12 bus services per hour" are only considered PT2
"Spine Services".

 

6) Can Waka Kotahi please provide a copy of any and all ONF presentations,
working papers or background reports used to support the definition that
"all Metro Rail lines would be classified as PT1 (highest strategic
significance) as they are considered rapid transit corridors irrespective
of frequency, availability and or volume of people movement."

 

7) Can Waka Kotahi please provide a copy of any and all ONF presentations,
working papers or background reports used to support the definition that
"Buses > 40 services per hour" are considered rapid transit and bus
services ">12 bus services per hour" are only considered PT2 "Spine

8) Can Waka Kotahi please provide a copy of any and all ONF meeting (or
workshop) agendas, presentations, working papers or background reports
where discussions on the criteria to classify rail PT services under the
ONF including if it would be assessed as rapid transit or not ?

workshop) agendas, presentations, working papers or background reports
where discussions on the criteria to classify bus PT services under the
ONF including if it would be assessed as rapid transit or not ?

Auckland Transport on which PT services (bus and rail) would be considered
rapid transit services ?

 

11) Can Waka Kotahi please provide a copy of any correspondence with the
