Barry Mein is the new Programme Director for the Auckland Transport Alignment Project (ATAP), which aims to develop a strategic approach for Auckland's transport system over the next 30 years. This project involves collaboration between central and local government agencies and aims to support economic growth, improve congestion, increase public transport usage, and deliver net benefits to system users.

Introducing Barry Mein Programme Director 7 September 2016
Auckland Transport Alignment Project (ATAP) • Set up by Government and Auckland Council in August 2015 • Purpose: to develop an aligned strategic approach for the development of Auckland’s transport system over the next 30 years • Background: disagreement over funding tools and need to get alignment on what needs to be done before discussing how to fund • Multi-agency project across central and local government • Final report expected to be released this month • Some similarities and differences between ATAP and Let’s Get Wellington Moving which are useful to understand
ATAP: test for better return on transport investment • Detailed objectives: • Support economic growth and increased productivity by ensuring access to employment/labour improves, relative to current levels, as Auckland’s population grows • Improve congestion results, relative to predicted levels, in particular travel time and reliability, in the peak period and to ensure congestion does not become widespread during working hours • Improve public transport's mode share, relative to predicted results, where it will address congestion • Ensure any increases in the financial costs of using the transport system deliver net benefits to users of the system
ATAP / LGWM: some other observations • ATAP spent much time up-front agreeing on “foundation” issues: assumptions, KPIs and problem definition • LGWM has spent time up-front engaging the public on issues and desired outcomes • Both ATAP and LGWM involve multi-agency collaboration • Reconciling vehicle-movement and place-making has been challenging for ATAP
Interim report: emerging strategic approach • Adding new infrastructure is necessary but not sufficient • To make a real difference, we need to also take advantage of new demand-side opportunities • The emerging strategic approach involves an integrated combination of three types of intervention

Generating Criteria from Principles 7 September 2016
Considerations • Principles have been the result of wide engagement • Principles must be visible in the criteria • Principles and criteria will be used for the life of the programme and beyond • A number of criteria and indicators are already used by the partners, WCC, GWRC and NZ Transport Agency and these will be included where it makes sense • Criteria will help develop and assess scenarios
Principles in summary Better public transport Travel choice Compact city Demand & supply Accessible healthy safe Growth Generating Criteria from Principles Past, present & future Predictable travel times Clean & green Wider View Future Proof & resilient Set in nature

Strategic direction, criteria, and indicator sets from WCC, GWRC and NZTA Connected city – with improved physical and virtual connections, we can unleash the potential of Wellington’s people and businesses. Technology reduces the city’s physical distance from the world and markets, and the city’s compactness allows for relationships to form with ease People-centred city – cities compete more for people in particular the highly skilled, educated people who already make up a large proportion of Wellington’s population. It will become increasingly important to draw on these strengths, to ensure the city is open, welcoming, vibrant and embraces diversity Dynamic central city – by fostering the central city as a hub of creative enterprise, we can lead the region to the next level in economic transformation. With universities, research organisations and creative businesses all clustered in or near the central city, Wellington can grow, taking the wider region to the next step in prosperity and quality jobs. Eco-city – we will build on our current environmental strengths to transition to a low carbon future. As an eco-city Wellington will achieve high standards of environmental performance, coupled with outstanding quality of life and an economy increasingly based on smart innovation WCC Criteria: Urban Development UD1 to UD9 Criteria: Cultural Wellbeing CW3 Criteria: Environment E2, E8 and E12 Criteria: Economic Development ED1 to ED7 Criteria: Transport T1 to T9 Strong Economy A thriving and diverse economy supported by high quality infrastructure that retains and grows businesses and employment Healthy Environment An environment with clean air, fresh water, healthy soils and diverse ecosystems that supports community needs Engaged CommunityPeople participate in shaping the regions' future, take pride in the region, value the region’s urban and rural landscapes, and enjoy the region’s amenities Resilient CommunityA regional community that plans for the future, adapts to climate change and is prepared for emergencies Connected Community People are able to move around the region efficiently and communications networks are effective and accessible GWRC Criteria: HE001, HE002, HE004, HE014 to HE016 Criteria: Healthy HC003, HC004 Criteria: Connected CC001 to CC007 Criteria:RLTP IRTN 01, 02, 03 Criteria: Prosperous Community PC001, PC003, PC007 Criteria: Regional Foundations RF003, RF004 Criteria: RLTP EOTSEnv 01 to 04 RLTP Safer 01 to 03 Criteria: Sense of Place SP001, SP003 to SP005 Quality Lifestyle QL008, QL011 Criteria: Strong & Tolerant ST008 RLTP WPCITN 01 to 07 Network performance & capability Cost Safety Health Agency Criteria: Financial cost of using transport Criteria: Reduce DSI Criteria: Pollution Criteria: Throughput Criteria: Noise Criteria: Reliability Criteria: Infrastructure safety Criteria: Pricing efficiency Criteria: Travel time Criteria: Availability & access Criteria: customer experience

Scenario analysis • ‘Qualitative’ judgement focus applicable when several scenarios / options to choose between • Multi-criteria analysis commonly used in assessments of scenarios / options for major infrastructure • MCA is just one of the inputs to select the preferred scenario
Next steps Using a number of mechanisms and participants: • Finalise criteria • Communicate the criteria to the community • Continuing developing scenarios • Test scenarios against criteria • Share results of scenario testing publically in New Year
