Request for the 2016/17 Fare Box Recovery Calculations

Tony Randle made this Official Information request to Wellington Regional Council

The request was partially successful.

From: Tony Randle

Dear Wellington Regional Council,

The GWRC Council meeting of 2nd of March 2016, as an attachment, the GWRC report on the 2017/18 Draft Annual Plan (Link: http://www.gw.govt.nz/assets/council-rep...) that reiterated the position that no Wellington PT fare increase was proposed stating on pages 4-5:

"5. Public Transport Annual Fare Review
The Regional Public Transport Plan requires that public transport fares set by the Council be reviewed annually. The review considers compliance with farebox policy and review of public transport fare levels.
The outcome of the compliance review for 2015/16 and forecasts is set out in Table 1. This shows that overall farebox recovery under the Regional Public Transport Plan and user contributions under the Long Term Plan 2015-25 were within target for 2015/16.
...
Our current projections show that the overall targets can be met without the need for a fare increase in the 2017/18 financial year."

Can I please have a copy of the Fare Box Recovery calculations that the GWRC used to create the figures in Table 1 and to support the position in the draft 2017/18 draft annual plan that "that the overall targets can be met without the need for a fare increase in the 2017/18 financial year." ?

I understand this information is held in electronic form and I would prefer it was provided to me in it complete and original electronic format.

Yours faithfully,

Tony Randle
