HAWKE’S BAY REGIONAL COUNCIL

Regional Transport Committee

Friday 11 March 2016

Subject: Variation to the Regional Land Transport Plan 2015-18

Reason for Report

1. To consider a variation to the Regional Land Transport Plan 2015-2025 to add the SH2 Wairoa to Bay View Safety Improvements Project to the three year programme.

Financial and Resource Implications

2. There are no financial or resource implications for Hawke’s Bay Regional Council

Background

3. The Regional Land Transport Plan 2015-18 was adopted in 2015 and contained the region’s proposed transport activities to be funded from the National Land Transport Fund (NLTF) by the NZ Transport Agency until 30 June 2018.

4. The National Safer Roads and Roadsides Programme Business Case sets out to deliver against the NZ Transport Agency’s commitments to safer roads and roadsides as a partner to the Safer Journeys strategy 2010 – 2020.

5. In order to implement safety improvements along New Zealand’s rural road network, the safe roads alliance has been set up to deliver these safety improvements over the next 6 years.

Wairoa to Bay View Corridor

6. The route between Wairoa and Bay View is a 107 kilometre State Highway 2 corridor and has been identified as a safety improvement project which can be completed in the near term and contribute to wider safety goals along the network.

7. This section of SH2 has long been of concern and is described as a significant challenge for the region in the Regional Land Transport Plan 2015-25, due to safety, level of service and resilience issues which are predicted to worsen as forestry harvests in the area increase.

8. The corridor between Wairoa and Bay View has had 71 fatal and serious (FSi) crashes over the last 10 years, which has resulted in 87 deaths and serious injuries (DSi).

9. The annual average daily traffic (AADT) volumes vary from 1,649 through to 7,992 vehicles per day with between 16-22% of heavy vehicles.

10. Planning works for this route are currently under development and a single stage business case is proposed. The business case will fully explore a range of safety interventions and benefits of actual and predicted DSi savings, compared with the costs of implementation. A recommended option will be put forward for approval by the NZTA’s Central Highways Leadership Team.

11. Once the business case has been completed and potential interventions agreed, physical works will be ready to commence.

12. Until the recommended option has been accepted, the estimated costs could range between $3-5M.

13. The current programme for each phase is:

Phase	Tasks/Programme
Indicative/Detailed Business Case	-Workshop 1 held 28 October 2015; -Workshop 2 expected to be held mid-March; -Business case paper expected to be submitted late-March for CHLT (early April meeting).
Pre-Implementation	-Detailed design to progress following approval of the preferred option. Duration is expected to be between 4 to 12 weeks depending on the scope of the preferred option and the level of detailing required for detailed design. This will include a Safety Audit.
Implementation	-Tender documents are expected to go to the market in June 2016; -Construction is expected to start in July 2016. The start date and duration will depend on the scope of the project and the duration of the pre-implementation phase; Post-construction safety audit included.

Discussion

14. This variation is requested in order to include the construction phases of this project in the 2015-18 RLTP. Implementation of this project within the 2015-18 period will not delay any other activity nor will it use funds which have been earmarked for other regional projects.

15. A further matter for the Committee’s consideration is whether the variation is significant and therefore must be publicly consulted on. The significance policy for the Regional Land Transport Plan states that (among other criteria) public consultation is not required if

15.1. the project has already been consulted on; or

15.2. the new activity is a scope change which does not alter the original objectives of the project.

16. The RLTP already contains funding for a business case for improvements on this corridor, which has been consulted on. It is now proposed to complete the business case and move to implementing the preferred option. The scope of the project has therefore changed considerably, but the original objectives are the same. It is therefore considered that both the above criteria have been met.

17. It is therefore requested that the Regional Transport Committee approve the variation to the RLTP.

Proposed variations to RLTP 2015

Organisation: NZ Transport Agency
Activity Name	Stage	Expected start year	Duration (months)	Cost ($m) 2015/16	Cost ($m) 2016/17	Funding Source(s)
SH2 Wairoa to Bay View Safety	Indicative/Detailed Business Case	15/16	3 months	$200K		N
	Pre-implementation (Design)	16/17	3 months		$200K	N
	Implementation	16/17	1 year		$3-5M	N

Decision Making Process

18. Council is required to make every decision in accordance with the requirements of the Local Government Act 2002 (the Act). Staff have assessed the requirements in relation to this item and have concluded:

18.1. The decision does not significantly alter the service provision or affect a strategic asset.

18.2. The use of the special consultative procedure is not prescribed by legislation.

18.3. The decision does not fall within the definition of Council’s policy on significance.

18.4. The persons affected by this decision are road users of the Bayview-Wairoa corridor.

18.5. Options that have been considered include not approving the variation.

18.6. The decision is not inconsistent with an existing policy or plan.

18.7. Given the nature and significance of the issue to be considered and decided, and also the persons likely to be affected by, or have an interest in the decisions made, Council can exercise its discretion and make a decision without consulting directly with the community or others having an interest in the decision.

Recommendations

1. That the Regional Transport Committee receives and notes the “Variation to the Regional Land Transport Plan 2015-25” report.

2. The Regional Transport Committee recommends that Council:

2.1. Agrees that the decisions to be made are not significant under the criteria contained in Council’s adopted Significance and Engagement Policy, and that Council can exercise its discretion and make decisions on this issue without conferring directly with the community and persons likely to be affected by or to have an interest in the decision.

2.2. Approves the variation to the Regional Land Transport Plan 2015-25 as proposed.

HAWKE’S BAY REGIONAL COUNCIL

Regional Transport Committee

Friday 11 March 2016

Subject: March 2016 Public Transport Update

Reason for Report

1. This agenda item provides the Committee with an update on Council’s public transport operations.

General Information

2. Transport staff are currently working with Go Bus Transport Ltd to identify and cost service improvements which may include: a service between Bay View and Napier; an earlier morning service to meet the needs of HBDHB workers; a modified express Route 12 (Npe-Hstgs) service; and real-time and Google transit information. Any changes will be considered by the Regional Council prior to their implementation from the start of the new contract on 1 August 2016.

3. Patronage in regional centres around the country continues to decline, with decreases consistent with those seen in Hawke’s Bay. Most regional councils consider that lower petrol prices are the major reason for this. It is also possible that a free parking trial in Hastings CBD may have impacted on the patronage of Hastings services over the Christmas and pre-Christmas period.

Bus Passenger Trips

4. Diagram 1 shows total bus passenger trips during 2012-13, 2013-14, 2014-15 and 2015-16 YTD.

Diagram 1 – Passenger Trips – 2012-13, 2013-14, 2014-15, 2015-16 YTD

5. Average monthly patronage for 2012-13, 2013-14, 2014-15 and 2015-16 YTD is shown in Diagram 2.

Diagram 2 – Total Annual Passenger Trips and Monthly Averages

Year	Total Annual Trips	Monthly Average
2012-13	761,392	63,449
2013-14	799,845	66,653
2014-15	744,692	62,057
2015-16 (YTD)	348,884	58,147

Bus Service Costs

6. The following table shows the net cost (after fares and excluding GST) of operating the goBay bus service between July and December in 2012-13, 2013-14, 2014-15 and 2015-16. The costs include base contract and quarterly incentive and indexation costs, which accounts for the significant price fluctuations between months.

Diagram 3 – Net Cost of Bus Service – 2012-13, 2013-14, 2014-15 and 2015-16 YTD

Year	Jul	Aug	Sep	Oct	Nov	Dec	TOTAL
2012-13	$224,406	$206,395	$217,298	$229,967	$218,084	$246,304	$1,342,454
2013-14	$186,170	$278,969	$182,220	$187,613	$302,615	$207,605	$1,345,192
2014-15	$168,720	$157,262	$264,227	$174,153	$141,819	$255,647	$1,161,828
2015-16	$142,779	$189,698	$213,309	$148,791	$158,061	$249,914	$1,102,552

(53% of this cost is met by the New Zealand Transport Agency).

Fare Recovery

7. Fare recovery is the portion of the total cost of the service that is covered by fares (including Supergold payments from central government). Diagram 4 shows fare recovery in 2012-13, 2013-14, 2014-15 and 2015-16 (YTD).

Diagram 4 – Fare Recovery – 2012-13, 2013-14, 2014-15 and 2015-16 YTD

2012-13	34.26%
2013-14	38.24%
2014-15	38.69%
2015-16 (YTD)	38.17%

Bus Stops

8. Napier City Council has commenced a programme of formalising Napier bus stops.

SuperGold Card Scheme Update

9. Changes have been made to the funding of the SuperGold scheme which provides free off-peak bus travel for people with a SuperGold card. The Minister of Transport has announced that from 2016-17, funding for this scheme will be capped and each region will be bulk funded. Regional allocations will be adjusted annually by the Consumer Price Index but there will be no funding to accommodate growth in numbers of users of the scheme or in the number of trips taken.

10. Regional Council staff from around the country have been involved in the development of options for the equitable distribution of the fund among regions. A number of possible options have been modelled and a preferred option identified. Submissions on the proposal are sought by 29 February and a regional council sector submission is under preparation.

Total Mobility

11. The Total Mobility Scheme, which is funded by regional council, local councils and the NZTA, provides subsidised taxi transport for people who have a permanent illness or disability which prevents them from using public transport.

12. The following tables show the number of Total Mobility trips made during 2012-13, 2013-14 and 2014-15 and the corresponding costs (excl GST).

13. There were 46,912 trips in the first six months of this year, compared with 47,863 in the same period last year, a decrease of 1.9%. Expenditure decreased by 5.6%, from $318,547 in the first half of 2014-15 to $300,701 this year. The reasons for this are not yet clear (although Total Mobility use can be very weather-dependent) and it is too early to tell whether this trend will continue. It is possible however, that with the lower petrol prices, TM users are being transported more by friends and family.

(60% of this cost is met by the New Zealand Transport Agency)

Forecast Growth in Total Mobility Use

14. In response to a question by a member of the Committee at the last meeting, the following analysis of possible future trends in Total Mobility (TM) use is provided.

15. The NZ Transport Agency has not undertaken any national investigation into the rate of growth in disability rates and therefore, likely membership of the Total Mobility Scheme. However, the New Zealand Disability Survey 2013 (undertaken by Statistics New Zealand) shows that there are were 1,062,000 disabled people in New Zealand, up from 762,000 in 2001 (a 39% increase, which equates to an average annual increase of 3.3%). While not all people classified as disabled will be eligible for the Total Mobility Scheme, this does provide some measure of explanation for the growth in use of the scheme over this time.

16. Statistics NZ states that the main reason for this growth in the number of people with a disability is the ageing of the population over this time.

17. However, there has been a greater increase in the number of Total Mobility trips in Hawke’s Bay than the national growth in the number of people with disabilities would indicate. In 2003-04, there were 37,763 TM trips taken in Hawkes Bay. By 2012-13, this had increased to 79,985, an increase of 112%. There are a number of reasons for this, including changes in the eligibility criteria for the scheme. As indicated in paragraphs 11-13 however, the number of trips taken now appears to be slowing.

18. Statistics NZ predicts that, in Hawke’s Bay, the population over 65 will increase by 60% between 2013 and 2028. At an average of 4% per year, this is therefore relatively consistent with the historical increase in disability rates.

19. Census data and population projections provide:

Population over 65 in the Hawke’s Bay region.

2001	19,500
2013	26,200
2023	36,200
2028	42,000

20. While the predicted rate of ageing may give some indication of likely growth rates in the number of people registered for TM, this won’t be the only factor. The eligibility criteria for TM are not age-related and therefore there is not a direct correlation between the number of registered TM users and the age structure of our population. Many other factors come into play, such as improved healthcare, which could see more older people in the community who are still fit and healthy and do not qualify for TM. Meanwhile, disability rates in younger people can be affected by a range of factors also. Furthermore, many people do not register for TM until they have a pressing transport need and this need can be created by something as simple as a change in location of a rehabilitation centre or work programme.

21. While the number of people registered for Total Mobility is likely to continue to increase, there are also a number of external factors which affect the cost of the Scheme to the Council, including fuel prices, changing residential patterns, the level of competition amongst transport providers and the introduction of new services such as Uber or Driving Miss Daisy which have different pricing structures.

22. Therefore while growth in the number of older people in the region is a useful indicator, there will not necessarily be a firm correlation between this, use and cost of the TM scheme. Historically, annual cost increases have varied between 2% and 26%, which makes it very difficult to predict long term expenditure. However, given the rate of ageing of the Hawke’s Bay population, it would be wise to expect at minimum, an annual increase in TM cost of 5-7%.

Small Passenger Service Sector

23. The government has undertaken consultation on changes to the small passenger service sector, with submissions closing 12 February. Background information and a suggested submission was emailed to the Committee in late January, with the final submission subsequently submitted by the closing date.

Decision Making Process

24. Council is required to make every decision in accordance with the Local Government Act 2002 (the Act). Staff have assessed the requirements in relation to this item and have concluded that, as this report is for information only and no decision is to be made, the decision making provisions of the Local Government Act 2002 do not apply.

Recommendation

1. That the Regional Transport Committee receives and notes the “March 2016 Public Transport Update” report.

HAWKE’S BAY REGIONAL COUNCIL

Regional Transport Committee

Friday 11 March 2016

Subject: March 2016 Transport Manager's Report

Reason for Report

1. This regular report provides the Committee with a snapshot of relevant transport matters, provides updates from the Transport Advisory Group (TAG) on issues raised at their regular meetings and outlines what is coming up within the transport sector.

Background

2. The Transport Advisory Group is made up of road asset managers, planners and staff from Approved Organisations (AOs) - NZTA, Wairoa District Council, Central Hawke’s Bay District Council, Napier City Council, Hastings District Council and co-ordinated by the Hawke’s Bay Regional Council’s Transport Manager. TAG meets at least quarterly and its main purpose is to support the operation of the RTC and provide co-ordinated and timely advice backed up by technical knowledge.

Transport Advisory Group meetings

3. Since the Committee’s last meeting, two TAG meetings have been held.

4. Agenda items have included:

4.1. Progress reports and discussion of issues associated with major capital projects – these are the subject of separate agenda items.

4.2. Planning for the review of the Regional Land Transport Plan

Review of the Regional Land Transport Plan

5. The next regional land transport plan must be completed by April 2018. While this may seem a long way out, most regions are commencing reviews of their plans during the 2016 year in order to thoroughly examine and validate the strategic issues which will set the direction for future transport activity and funding.

6. A draft timeline for preparation of the draft plan is attached (Attachment 1). This sets out the key stages for using the business case approach in the development of our next regional plan.

Regional Economic Development Strategy

7. The Regional Economic Development Strategy (REDS) is under development at present. REDS is overseen by a regional governance group made up of the five councils and private sector representatives, which has recently put forward to the government a number of proposals for funding of infrastructure which, if brought forward, could remove blockages to economic growth.

8. These included a number of transport infrastructure projects identified in the Regional Land Transport Plan 2015-18 or the Regional Land Transport Strategy for future investigation.

9. Further information will be provided as the project progresses.

Driver Licensing Issues and Proposal

10. Good progress has been made on the proposal to use an NZ Transport Agency road safety education allocation for funding driver licensing programmes in the region. The local share funding required to access $120,000 annually has been committed by a number of local agencies. A project brief has been submitted to the Agency and has been approved. This means that the funding can now be re-directed into driver licensing training and support.

11. The next steps are to:

11.1. advertise the availability of the competitive fund

11.2. prepare expression of interest documentation for community providers of driver licensing training

11.3. set up a governance group which will assess applications, allocate funding and monitor the results of providers.

12. It is hoped to complete these three steps by the end of March, with a view to having providers signed up and ready to undertake training by 1 July 2016.

Regional Cycling Governance Group

13. The Regional Cycling Governance Group continues to meet quarterly and is closely monitoring implementation of the Regional Cycle Plan. Minutes of the November 2015 and February 2016 meetings are provided as Attachment 2.

14. Recent activities/achievements include:

14.1. the successful application to the New Zealand Cycle Trails (NZCT) Enhancement Fund for funding to replace the “kissing” gates on the Hawke’s Bay trails and provide improved signage

14.2. acceptance by NZCT of the Central Hawke’s Bay Tukituki Trail as a Heartland Ride. This official classification opens the way for funding from NZCT

14.3. initial investigation into a possible solution for the Mad Mile, an unconnected section of the Landscapes Ride. The proposal would see a cycle bridge across the Tukituki near River Road in Havelock North

14.4. Commencement of the construction of a separate cycle bridge across the Waitangi Bridge Washout on State Highway 2.

Approved Organisations – Progress Updates

15. Most major projects have been discussed elsewhere in the agenda. Public transport is the subject of a separate item.

16. The Wairoa District Council’s roading programme is proceeding on schedule.

Decision Making Process

17. Council is required to make every decision in accordance with the Local Government Act 2002 (the Act). Staff have assessed the requirements in relation to this item and have concluded that, as this report is for information only and no decision is to be made, the decision making provisions of the Local Government Act 2002 do not apply.

Recommendation

1. That the Regional Transport Committee receives the “March 2016 Transport Manager's report”.
