Subject: OIA-3992 REQUEST Official Information request - Request for PTOM Commerciality Ratio Rules and Exempt Services rules

Dear New Zealand Transport Agency,

I am interested in the Public Transport Operating Model rules related to the requirements for councils:
A) to calculate and publish Commerciality ratios for PTOM units & modes and
B) to consider Exempt public transport services under PTOM as public transport services.

I understand that the NZTA procurement Manual (https://scanmail.trustwave.com/?c=2838&a...) Section 10.6 states:
"Publication of public transport commerciality ratios 1. An approved organisation that procures public transport units must publish annually the regional commerciality ratio and a league table for each public transport mode (bus, rail, ferry, other) using the commerciality ratios of all public transport units within the region (see appendix H Calculating public transport commerciality ratios for the commerciality ratio formula)."

I further understand that the methodology for the Commerciality Ratio calculation must be undertaken as specified in "Appendix H Calculating public transport commerciality ratios" (https://scanmail.trustwave.com/?c=2838&a...) which further states:
"Approved organisations providing public transport services must calculate a commerciality ratio for:
• the region as a whole, and
• each unit of public transport services identified in the RPTP and separated by mode."

A1) Can I have a copy of the advice provided to the Auckland Transport that outlines the NZTA requirement to calculate and publish the regional commerciality ratios for bus, rail and ferry modes as well as the commerciality ratios individual PTOM units on an annual basis ?

A2) Can I have a copy of the advice provided to the Greater Wellington Regional Council that outlines the NZTA requirement to calculate and publish the commerciality ratio for bus, rail and ferry services as well as individual PTOM units on an annual basis ?

A3) Can I have a copy of any and all Commercial Ratios received from Auckland Transport that shows the annual regional Commerciality Ratios for bus, rail and/or ferry modes ?

A4) Can I have a copy of any and all Commercial Ratios received from Greater Wellington Regional Council that shows the annual regional Commerciality Ratios for bus, rail and/or ferry modes ?

A5) Can I have a copy of any and all Commercial Ratios received from Auckland Transport that shows the annual Commerciality Ratios for individual PTOM units (including the estimated future Commerciality Ratios for units if provided to the NZTA) ?

A6) Can I have a copy of any and all Commercial Ratios received from Greater Wellington Regional Council that shows the annual Commerciality Ratios for individual PTOM units (including the estimated future Commerciality Ratios for units if provided to the NZTA) ?

I am also interested in the public transport services that are designated as Exempt Services under PTOM.

B1) Can I have a copy of the policy that specifies that public transport services designated as PTOM Exempt Services are eligible for Supergold Card PT Subsidies ?

B2) Can I have a copy of the policy that specifies that public transport services designated as PTOM Exempt services are to be included or excluded as “Commercial Services” under the NZTA Farebox Recovery Policy ?

If this information is held in electronic form then I would prefer it was provided in its complete and original electronic format.

Yours faithfully,

Tony Randle
