Subject: Official Information request - Capacity assumptions by mode in
the Auckland Rapid Transit Plan

Dear Auckland Transport,

I am interested in understanding the information used to support the stated maximum capacities for different public transport (PT) modes used in the Auckland Rapid Transit Plan.

On 1 March, 2022, AT provided a response to an information request asking for a copy of the “Auckland Rapid Transit Plan” ([5]https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://fyi.... ). In this response, Auckland Transport stated:

“Given the project is still underway, there is no draft plan available to provide you to satisfy your specific request. Your request seeking the draft document is refused under section 17e of the Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act 1987 (LGOIMA), as Auckland Transport (AT) does not hold the information. A summary document of the first three stages is available, however, which includes the information on potential city centre alignments that you have mentioned. We have attached this summary document, as we believe the information it contains should satisfy your substantive request.
...
The eight scenarios developed were conceptual only. They were conceived as viable scenarios, but not necessarily realistic ones. The work found that three realistic options for the city centre: a three-line (surface) light rail network for new corridors to the city centre; a three-line (tunnelled) light rail or metro network; or a combination of surface and tunnelled corridors.”

The AT response also included the document “Auckland Rapid Transit Plan Stage 1 3 Summary Report.pdf”. On page 24 of this report is sub-section “3.2.1 Capacity assumptions by mode”. This section includes “Table 3-2: Mode capacity assumptions” which outlined “Maximum vehicles per hour” for the PT modes of Bus, Light Rail, Light Metro and Heavy Rail.

1) Can AT please provide a copy of the paper, report, project and/or correspondence which is the authoritative source for the information in Table 3-2?

2) Can AT please provide a copy of the scope, terms of reference, contract, purchase order or other document that asked for this for the information in Table 3-2 being provided to AT?

3) Can AT please provide the authoritative source (transport expert, transport consulting company) that provided the information in Table 3-2?

4) Can AT please outline when it received the information in Table 3-2?

5) Can AT please provide a copy of any and all reviews (internal or external) of the information in Table 3-2 that confirmed this information is accurate?

In the same section, under the statement “The ultimate ‘corridor capacity’ of these modes is shown in the diagram below:” there is a “Passengers per hour at peak” (PPH) chart for a range of public transport modes including Heavy Rail (Triple EMU, Double EMU), Light Rail Metro (Grade-Separated, On-Street), Bus (Advanced Trambus, Busway, Bus Lanes, Bus in General Traffic). The chart itself shows the PPH for each mode from “Minimum”, “Ideal”, and “Stretch”.

6) Can AT please provide a copy of the paper, report, project and/or correspondence which is the authoritative source for the information in “Passengers per hour at peak” chart?

7) Can AT please provide a copy of the scope, terms of reference, contract, purchase order or other document that asked for this for the information in “Passengers per hour at peak” chart being provided to AT?

8) Can AT please provide the authoritative source (transport expert, transport consulting company) that provided the information in “Passengers per hour at peak” chart?

9) Can AT please outline when it received the information in “Passengers per hour at peak” chart?

10) Can AT please provide a copy of any and all reviews (internal or external) of the information in “Passengers per hour at peak” chart that confirmed this information is accurate?

If this information is held in electronic form, it is preferred that the information is provided in its complete and original electronic format.

Yours faithfully,

Tony Randle

therefore letting you know of an extension of the time to make our

LGOIMA update

 

We had hoped to tell you what we've found and what the next steps are by
01 September 2023. Unfortunately, it won’t be possible to meet that time
limit and we are therefore letting you know of an extension of the time to
make our decision, to 08 September 2023. This extension is necessary
because consultations within Auckland Transport are necessary to make a
decision on your request. Therefore, a proper response cannot reasonably
be made within the original time limit.
 
Remember, if you need to provide us with more information or if you have
any questions, you can simply reply to this email leaving the subject line
as it is.

Subject: Re: Here’s the official information you asked for (case number
CAS-765469-S4F0V0 ) CRM:0134_u

Dear AT Official Information (AT),

Thank you for the substantive response of 12 September 2023 and the explanation on why AT refused to provide any of the requested information.

I am disappointed that AT did not contact me to seek clarification of my request during the more than six weeks taken to decide to refuse to provide requested information because I asked for the “authoritative source”.

The term “authoritative” is just an adjective meaning “having or showing impressive knowledge about a subject” ([5]https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www....). I assumed, perhaps incorrectly, that AT would utilise people who are authoritative about public transport and rapid transit in the creation of information about rapid transit mode capacity.

However, it is AT that seems to have assumed that “authoritative” = “external”. I must point out that this request is deliberately blind to whether this information was produced internally or externally to AT as the request simply asks for the source document and supporting information around it. I am both concerned and amused that AT developed its Auckland Rapid Transit Plan using staff it does not believe are knowledgeable about rapid transit.

It seems to me, based on your explanation, that “the document the table is sourced from” is the “authoritative source” for Table 3-2 I requested. Equally, the spreadsheet used to calculate the figures used to create the graph is the “authoritative source” for “Passengers per hour at peak” chart I requested.

Now I understand your interpretation of my request, I will clarify my request by removing the word “authoritative” from my requested noting that, from my perspective, these are the same requests as originally sent to AT seven weeks ago:

1) Can AT please provide a copy of the paper, report, project and/or correspondence which is the source for the information in Table 3-2?

2) Can AT please provide a copy of the scope, terms of reference, contract, purchase order or other document that asked for this for the information in Table 3-2 being provided to AT?

3) Can AT please provide the source (transport expert, transport consulting company) that provided the information in Table 3-2?

4) Can AT please outline when it received the information in Table 3-2?

5) Can AT please provide a copy of any and all reviews (internal or external) of the information in Table 3-2 that confirmed this information is accurate?

6) Can AT please provide a copy of the paper, report, project and/or correspondence which is the source for the information in “Passengers per hour at peak” chart?

7) Can AT please provide a copy of the scope, terms of reference, contract, purchase order or other document that asked for this for the information in “Passengers per hour at peak” chart being provided to AT?

8) Can AT please provide the source (transport expert, transport consulting company) that provided the information in “Passengers per hour at peak” chart?

9) Can AT please outline when it received the information in “Passengers per hour at peak” chart?

10) Can AT please provide a copy of any and all reviews (internal or external) of the information in “Passengers per hour at peak” chart that confirmed this information is accurate?

Can Auckland Transport, under this LGOIMA request, please provide:
• “the document the table is sourced from” for Table 3-2 as I requested in 1)
• the supporting information about the source document requested under 1) as I requested in 2) – 5)
• the spreadsheet used to calculate the figures used to create the graph for the “Passengers per hour at peak” chart as I requested in 6)
• the supporting information about the source document requested under 6) as I requested in 7) – 10)

As AT has already spent over six weeks reviewing the requested information, can it please be provided in a timely manner?

Finally, can AT also acknowledge its receipt of this reply?

Yours sincerely,

Tony Randle
