Agenda of Regional Transport Committee - Friday, 9 September 2022

HAWKE’S BAY REGIONAL COUNCIL

Regional Transport Committee

Friday 9 September 2022

Subject: Submissions received on the draft Regional Public Transport Plan

Reason for Report

1. This item provides the Regional Transport Committee with the written submissions received on the Draft Hawke’s Bay Regional Public Transport Plan 2022-2032, which includes new plans for the bus network.

2. This item also provides the Committee with information on the hearing of verbal submissions on 9 September 2022 on the Draft Regional Public Transport Plan.

Officers’ Recommendation

3. That Committee members read and consider all written submissions as attached in preparation for the Hearing on 9 September 2022.

4. That Committee members hear the verbal submissions on 9 September 2022, which together with the written submissions will inform decision making at the Regional Transport Committee’s meeting on 16 September 2022. An interim schedule of speakers is attached.

5. HBRC’s Facebook and Instagram posts and associated comments are also attached for the Committee’s consideration.

Background

6. Under the Land Transport Management Act 2003 (LTMA), every Regional Council must adopt a Regional Public Transport Plan (RPTP) unless it does not intend to enter into any contracts for the supply of public transport services or provide any financial assistance to any operator or user of a taxi or shuttle service. Hawke’s Bay Regional Council does both.

7. The Plan must be reviewed every three years at the same time as, or as soon as practicable after, the public transport components of a regional land transport plan are approved or varied. The Hawke’s Bay Regional Land Transport Plan was reviewed in 2021.

8. Hawke’s Bay Regional Council’s Regional Public Transport Plan was last adopted in April 2019 and was the first developed under the new LTMA requirements.

9. The Draft Regional Public Transport Plan proposes a step-change for public transport that moves away from a coverage approach towards a high-frequency patronage model. The plan proposes a service for the region to make the network more frequent, faster, and more reliable. These changes will offset the additional time to walk to revised bus stops.

10. The vision for public transport is “To deliver a public transport service that is safe, accessible, and supports the shift to reduce driving and emissions, while improving the economic, social, and environmental wellbeing of the people of Hawke’s Bay”.

11. At the Council meeting on 27 July 2022, HBRC adopted the Draft Regional Public Transport Plan amended to incorporate the Proposed Public Transport Network Plan and endorsed by the 10 June 2022 Regional Transport Committee meeting, for public consultation.

12. HBRC also delegated to the Regional Transport Committee:

12.1. the hearing of verbal submissions

12.2. to make decisions on the submissions received by way of recommendations to the Regional Council for the adoption of the Regional Public Transport Plan in its final form.

Consultation Process

13. Public consultation on the Plan ran from Monday 1 August to Wednesday 31 August 2022.

14. Staff used several platforms to promote the consultation and engagement, and to encourage people to provide feedback. There was an online submission form on the website. A submission form was also provided in the consultation document which was also online. That form included details of where to email, post, or hand-deliver submission forms.

15. Face to face engagement: the Transport team delivered an overview of the proposed network and policies to a wide range of community groups across the region, including special interest groups, community committees, and council subcommittees. The transport team also spoke to attendees at the Go Green expo, providing in depth information into the climate action that the regional council is taking with this approach. This engagement took place across the month of August and reached thousands of Hawke’s Bay residents.

16. A public notice advertisement ran in Hawke’s Bay Today on 1 August 2022, supported by a media release, social media and content on HBRC’s website. Advertising was also placed on goBay bus services, inviting current users to share their thoughts on the proposed changes.

17. HBRC’s Facebook & Instagram social media channels delivered a total of 10 posts & targeted ads concerning this consultation, resulting in:

17.1. Reach (content seen): 32,297

17.2. Engagement (reactions, comments, shares, link clicks): 823

18. Go Bay’s Facebook social media channel delivered a total of 6 posts & targeted ads, resulting in:

18.1. Reach: 20,870

18.2. Engagement: 549

Scope of the Consultation Process

19. The consultation sought specific feedback on:

19.1. the level of support to move towards high-frequency, direct bus services

19.2. improvements that could be made to persuade non-bus users to try using the bus or what improvements could be made for bus users to enable them to use the bus even more.

19.3. the level of agreement with proposed short-term changes to current services 11 and 12, and if there were other short term-route changes that submitters want considered

19.4. the level of agreement with the proposed 2025 and 2030 network improvements, both in terms of changes to services and increased hours of operation, and if there were other longer-term route changes that submitters want considered

19.5. the supporting policies for the RPTP.

20. If the proposed network is adopted, the Regional Transport Committee will undertake further consultation in 2023 regarding infrastructure details, such as the location of bus stops.

HAWKE’S BAY REGIONAL COUNCIL

Regional Transport Committee

Friday 9 September 2022

Subject: Active Transport

Reason for Report

1. This report is intended to help establish optimal and equal representation of walking and cycling (Active Transport) as modes in the governance and management of transport and the network at a regional level. This report was requested by the Regional Transport Committee (RTC) to assist in the decision-making around formalising representation of Active Transport. This is due to concerns raised by elected members across the region that Active Transport is not appropriately represented at the RTC or in Regional Land Transport Planning (RLTP).

Executive Summary

2. Due to the traditional structure of the RTC and national governance of transport, active modes have been inadequately represented at all levels of planning and governance. Officers intend to improve the structure of its advisory group to ensure better management of all modes, as well as increased reporting to the RTC. This is in line with improvements to the structure of planning and governance of transport at a national level. Additionally, officers are recommending the RTC accept standing items for all modes and relevant outcomes, to ensure consistent coverage and equal governance. Finally, officers are recommending that the RTC welcome advisors for all modes to join the committee and ensure that its members have a multi-modal focus.

Strategic Fit

3. The recommendations in this report would contribute to the following outcomes, goals, and actions of the Strategic Plan 2020-2025:

3.1. By 2025, regional air quality consistently meets World Health Organisation guidelines

3.2. Promoting low-impact transport and energy reductions solutions

3.3. Connecting urban communities via public transport and cycle networks.

4. Optimal and equal representation of Active Transport modes in the governance and planning of regional transport will help ensure the prioritisation of the connection of the regional public and active transport network, which is required to achieve increased use of low-impact transport and regional air quality targets.

5. The recommendations in this report are representative of a whole-of-network approach, which is in alignment with Waka Kotahi and Government policies.

6. The Emissions Reduction Plan (ERP) states Hawke’s Bay needs to reduce vehicle kilometers travelled (VKT) by 16% before 2035, which will contribute to a 41% reduction in National Transport Emissions by the same time. To achieve this, our region must prioritise zero-emission transport, and provide viable alternatives to the private car.

Background

7. Historically, the RTC, Regional Transport Technical Advisory Group (TAG) and the related RLTP, have prioritised roading activity.

8. Through a lack of representation and action on behalf of Active Transport at a regional level, a group established to steer the development and maintenance of the Hawke’s Bay Trails (a destination cycling network) has become the proxy for regional cycling governance. This group, now known as the Regional Cycling Governance Group (RCGG) has become concerned with the regional governance of cycling. The RCGG has elected members representing each territorial authority, however, there is no formal authority attached to this group. As a result, decisions and developments in this group are done so in isolation.

9. As a result of the isolated operation of the RCGG, the staff and governors involved in representing Active Transport, are not sufficiently involved in RTC or TAG. This also means that there is inadequate reporting to a committee with governing authority.

10. The Government Policy Statement (GPS) for Land Transport, the ERP and the Ministry of Transport (MoT) Transport Outcomes Framework all support an emissions-reduction focused, multi-modal, whole-of-network approach to transport.

Discussion

11. Without equal and optimal representation at a regional level, active modes of transport are not being sufficiently factored into the planning of other modes, which is required for an integrated network.

12. The road controlling authorities (RCA) have staff working in the engineering, strategy, or planning of walking and cycling. For smaller authorities, they may be the same person whose priority is roading improvements and maintenance. For larger authorities, their role is likely within a transport or planning team.

13. The current RCA representation on the TAG is at a management level, with staff representation from each road controlling authority. There are currently no frequently attending representatives from the RCAs on behalf of walking and cycling.

13.1. There is an officer on the TAG from the council assets team, who speaks to the latest activity on the Hawke’s Bay Trails.

14. The agenda of the TAG is set each quarter to reflect the agenda of the upcoming RTC. A standing item on the agenda requires the officers on the TAG to speak to the activities approved under the current RLTP. As a result, the reporting to the RTC follows the same template.

15. The RTC voting members includes one representative from each RCA, two from HBRC (which is not an RCA) and one from the Māori Committee.

15.1. The RTC welcomes advisory members without voting rights, including NZ Police, the Road Freight Authority, the Automobile Association, KiwiRail, and Napier Port. These advisory members, aside from NZ Police, represent all modes of land transport other than walking and cycling.

16. The recognised modes of land transport are road, rail, walking, and cycling.

17. The transport outcomes framework, part of the GPS for land transport, includes five transport outcomes that are in place to ensure our region has a transport system that improves wellbeing and liveability. Those outcomes are economic prosperity, inclusive access, healthy and safe people, environmental sustainability, and network resilience.

17.1. The healthy and safe people outcome makes specific mention of making active travel an attractive option. Additionally, transitioning to net zero carbon emissions, and improving air quality requires more of our population to travel by active modes.

18. For Hawke’s Bay to achieve the five outcomes in the framework, the region needs an integrated multi-modal network. All modes need to be considered equally, however, it is arguably necessary for us to favour the modes that have not been given equal consideration historically, such as walking and cycling or rail.

Next Steps

19. To address the above issues, and to achieve the land transport outcomes set out in the GPS, our advisory and governance need to reflect the change we wish to see.

20. It was agreed at the last TAG meeting on 8 August 2022 that the TAG must now also take the whole-of-network approach that Waka Kotahi takes. This cannot be accomplished in a two-to-three-hour meeting once a quarter.

20.1. The TAG meetings will now be a day-long quarterly workstream-based agenda.

20.2. The workstreams will reflect the modes and outcomes, such as Active Modes, Road Safety, Speed Management Planning, and RCA approved activities.

20.3. Officers (HBRC, HDC, NCC, WDC, CHBDC, and Waka Kotahi) and advisors (e.g., Te Whatu Ora, Sport HB, BikeOn etc.) can attend any workstream relevant to their role, with a One Network Framework meeting being in place each quarter to ensure all workstreams are aligned.

20.4. Workstreams are advised to meet more regularly than quarterly to ensure the work discussed is undertaken if there is a planning or project component to the stream.

20.5. It is worth noting that this is the approach that the National Transport Special Interest Group (TSIG) takes for its structure.

21. Priority must be placed on the development and maintenance of an inclusive and productive distribution list, to ensure the right voices are included.

22. Officers recommend that the RTC agenda reflect the workstreams in its standing items, to ensure that all modes and outcomes are governed equally.

22.1. Active modes would have a standing item at each RTC meeting, to be presented by the workstream lead.

23. As a result of the proposed TAG structure and RTC agenda structure, the RLTP planning will become more focused on all modes in a whole-of-network approach, as this is done by the TAG and reported to the RTC.

24. Officers recommend that the RTC ensure there are advisory members of the committee to represent all modes.

24.1. The advisory members are not organized by local government.

25. Officers recommend that the RTC ensures that the representatives from each council have a multi-modal focus.

Decision Making Process

26. Staff have assessed the requirements of the Local Government Act 2002 in relation to this item and have concluded that, as this report is for information only, the decision-making provisions do not apply.

Recommendation

That the Regional Transport Committee receives and notes the Active Transport staff report.

HAWKE’S BAY REGIONAL COUNCIL

Regional Transport Committee

Friday 09 September 2022

Subject: Transport Manager’s September 2022 Report

Reason for report

1. This report provides the committee with a snapshot of relevant transport matters, including current national and local issues and work programmes from Waka Kotahi, Ministry of Transport, Ministry for the Environment and Ministry of Education, the Passenger Transport Network/Service Review, Subsidised Passenger Transport, On Demand Public Transport, the Total Mobility Scheme (including the Ridewise project), Road Safety Promotion, the Driver Licensing Programme, Transport Special Interest Group (TSIG) workstreams and the Transport Advisory Group (TAG).

Discussion

Regional Public Transport Plan (RPTP)

2. The Regional Road Transport Plan (RPTP) consultation is now complete (see RPTP submissions received as part of the agenda pack).

3. Once the deliberations are complete and the RPTP is adopted, work will begin to implement the proposed short-term changes.

4. Once short-term changes are implemented, work will begin on developing the 2025-2034 contract for tender, based on the proposed long-term changes.

Subsidised passenger transport

5. The Government-funded half-price fares scheme is now operating until 31 January 2023. From 1 February 2023, the half-price fares scheme will continue for community service card holders only.

5.1. The Regional Integrated Ticketing System (RITS) syndicate are currently developing digital infrastructure to support the concession application integration.

5.2. Supporting software is being developed to ensure that the concession can be accessed with a level of automation, to avoid the additional administrative cost associated with rolling out a new concession.

6. Since 23 May 2022, the Napier-Hastings bus unit has not operated on a reduced timetable, however, there have been a high volume of ad hoc cancellations. This has impacted the reliability of the service and has resulted in a five-year patronage low, despite rising fuel cost, and fares being further subsidised. The transport team has worked with Go Bus to mitigate the impact with several interventions.

6.1. HBRC asked Go Bus to supply the following weeks’ cancellations the Friday prior to ensure the public have sufficient notice as possible of cancellations to assist in journey planning. HBRC have also increased media coverage of the impact of driver shortages to assist with public awareness and understanding. The internal process of posting cancellations has been streamlined to avoid too many social media posts risking losing the information.

6.2. There continue to be challenges in getting cancellation information out to all bus users, which could only be achieved with digital signage at bus stops, displaying real time travel information. Funding has been applied for under the Transport Choices investment package, along with the development of a new network of Smart Stops to lead into the proposed network changes in 2025.

6.2.1. HBRC has requested funding through the Transport Choices investment package to develop ten Smart Stops at key points around the current network that will also be key points in the 2025 network. The intention is to showcase the future of public transport, while building trust in service reliability by displaying real time travel information.

6.3. Last week we received notification from Go Bus that there were no planned cancellations for this week. This is the first week of no planned cancellations since January 2022.

On demand public transport (ODPT)

7. MyWay has now been operating for three months in Hastings with varying success.

7.1. On multiple occasions, the service has reached the target of a 70% increase from pre-MyWay route patronage. While this has been achieved, it has not been sustained, and the average daily patronage sits at a 60% increase (approximately 150 trips per day).

7.2. To achieve a sustained 70% increase, we need to adjust the service parameters to increase the service efficiency. To date, we have increased the booking window, to increase the number of trips that can be offered to riders, and increased the detour rate, to increase the number of riders we can get on the service at one time. These two adjustments will increase/meet demand and decrease cancellations respectively.

7.3. We continue to see digital literacy issues as the key barrier to service use. We continue to work with communities, agencies, and individuals to improve the service for people of all abilities. Additionally, we are developing policies to better ensure the service does not get abused.

8. The MyWay Napier project is beginning to be developed, with project briefs and scoping documents being prepared. It is important that this project is developed early enough to ensure supply chain risks can be avoided and the best service can be in place.

9. MyWay continues to get good media coverage, both locally and nationally, as interest in the mode grows.

Total Mobility and the Ridewise project

10. There are currently 3572 members of the Total Mobility Scheme (TMS). This number continues to be reviewed because the Ridewise platform implementation has identified many inactive users that can be reviewed more efficiently.

11. While the Government-funded half-price fares scheme continues to operate, TMS trips remain higher than usual, as the cost of using the service is more affordable for shorter trips.

12. The Ridewise platform has also enabled the council to better manage operators, agencies, and members, and identifies potential issues with service abuse to be resolved, and policies to be developed or addressed.

Road safety

13. The s17a review has been completed by Morrison Low, endorsed by the RTC and approved by the FARS Committee. Work has now begun on implementing the change.

13.1. A Road Safety Workstream will be established within an expanded TAG.

13.1.1. Members will be from territorial safer community groups, and transport teams as well as key partners from FENZ, NZ Police, ACC, Te Whatu Ora, to ensure a broad representation for all levels of intervention.

13.2. A detailed regional road safety strategy is being developed, with a work plan being put in place to help facilitate regional delivery in alignment with the strategy.

13.3. Risk-targeted resources are being developed for community use with a regional approach to road-use behaviour.

14. This quarter, the council has delivered:

14.1. Rangatahi community programmes (in partnership with NZ Police)

14.2. Community partnership

14.3. Facilitation and support of partnership programmes (ACC, safer community groups)

14.4. Begun development of shared resources and refreshed website

14.5. Reviewed 2021-2022 activity list

14.6. Begun development of 2022-2023 activity list.

Driver licensing programme

15. Funding for the driver licensing programme was to be available the full 2021-2024 funding period. However, the funding was used in full across the last two financial years.

16. The 2022-2023 Road Safety Work Programme may identify some available funding for driver licensing, however, it will not be to the same scale.

16.1. To achieve funding at a large scale, a driver licensing programme will need to be included in the next Regional Land Transport Plan (RLTP).

17. The Council and Waka Kotahi have discussed the future of the Driver Licensing Programme and agree that our regions’ high number of adult learners and restricted licence holders should be addressed. This is a growing number and could be considered for a future Driver Licensing Programme funded by Waka Kotahi and HBRC.

17.1. It remains the council’s priority to target risk in our region which should also be reflected in our approach to funding driver licensing programmes.

Speed management plan

18. Waka Kotahi is currently offering workshops and drop-in sessions at a regional level, to assist with the development of the Speed Management Planning (SMP). A session will be in place for Hawke’s Bay authorities in the coming weeks.

19. Each region is approaching the differently, however, most are aligning the planning and consultation with the RLTP. The technical advisory group (TAG) are proposing the same approach.

Emissions reduction plan (unchanged from June 2022 report)

20. MfE has released NZ’s first Emissions Reduction Plan as required under the Climate Change Response Act 2002. The Transport Special Interest Group (TSIG) has sent a submission on the document, only commenting on the transport section of the plan. HBRC has contributed to this, and the submission was supplied to the RTC at the December meeting.

21. The RLTP contains a vision and objectives aimed at reducing transport emissions through increased use of public and active transport, increased use of rail for freight and integrated land use planning that reduces reliance on private vehicles. The newly developed ERP presents an opportunity to get strong national alignment and allow “the changing of hearts and minds” to be influenced at a central Government level. Our focus must now be on alignment and integration of district and regional planning to ensure targets are met as a region.

22. The plan sets a total 41% reduction target for transport emissions and, within that, a 20% reduction in vehicle kilometers travelled (VKT). This will require a shift to PT and active modes of transport.

23. Waka Kotahi is currently reviewing the Investment Decision Making Framework (IDMF) to better consider climate change.

24. The Ministry of Transport has developed key transport actions to achieve emissions reductions across freight, fuel, and decarbonisation of vehicles, as well as the increased use of active modes and the reach, frequency, and quality of public transport.

Freight Distribution Strategy and Programme Business Case (PBC)

25. The Technical Advisory Group (TAG) meeting was held on 8 August 2022. The agenda included presentations from Waka Kotahi on the regional Programme Business Case (PBC), discussion of active transport, road safety, and speed management planning.

26. The council and Waka Kotahi are currently reviewing the scope of work outlined from the current draft programme business case, to determine if there is any work outstanding with the current contractor.

27. The PBC needs to be completed in the next six months to ensure the region is best placed to begin reviewing the RLTP.

Regional Land Transport Plan (RLTP) investment and delivery issues

28. The Technical Advisory Group (TAG) meeting was held on 8 August 2022. The agenda included presentations from Waka Kotahi on the regional PBC, discussion of active transport, road safety, and speed management planning.

29. Approved organisation RLTP investment and delivery updates were written by each territorial authority (except for Napier City Council) and distributed to TAG members prior to the meeting. We now include them as items on the agenda, which can be talked to by each territorial authorities’ elected member. The reports are attached for discussion.

Regional TAG structure

30. The TAG currently meets once a quarter to discuss matters related to the RLTP and regional transport management. Historically, this group has been made up of representatives from Road Controlling Authorities (RCA) and Hawke’s Bay Regional Council. When discussing the representation of active transport at the August TAG meeting, it was raised that a two to three hourly quarterly meeting is no longer sufficient time to discuss the breadth and depth of issues being managed by the transport teams from the regional authorities. Additionally, the scope is no longer limited to the transport teams, and extends to environmental and planning teams, as well as representatives from other agencies such as housing, health, and primary industries.

31. The TAG agreed to establishing a structure like the National Transport Special Interest Group (TSIG) with a quarterly full-day agenda, made up of workstreams for each area of transport, focussed on modes and outcomes. The workstreams will be open to a wide range of representatives, to ensure there is broad input into the transport outcomes.

32. The TAG needs to represent all land modes across all five transport outcomes.

Decision Making Process

33. Staff have assessed the requirements of the Local Government Act 2002 in relation to this item and have concluded that, as this report is for information only, the decision making provisions do not apply.
