  1. Regional Transport Committee 2 October 2017 DM#10899051

  2. RLTP review – endorsing ILM policy framework • Comments welcomed on working draft policy framework chapters - Section 1: Introducing the Waikato Regional Land Transport Plan - Section 2: Strategic context for Waikato’s key transport problems - Section 3: Regional policy framework

  3. NIMT Promote the use of rail for freight and future passenger movements SH25/25A Improve network resilience, route reliability and safety in recognition of its particular vulnerability to climate relate events and competing access tourism and economic functions • AUCKLAND • Support of inter-regionally significant transport activities • To be confirmed with RTC Draft maps of strategic corridor policy SH2 Improve network resilience, route reliability and safety in recognition of its key tourism function through to Coromandel and BoP Develop transport infrastructure and services in high growth urban areas e.g. North Waikato PT options. SH1/29 NIMT/ECMT Priority strategic interregional freight route between AKL and BOP regions and key sea and inland ports. Develop and grow the use of regional cycling trails WAIKATO EXPRESSWAY Region’s number one transport priority • BAY OF PLENTY • Support of inter-regionally significant transport activities • To be confirmed with RTC SH3 Improve network resilience, route security and safety in recognition of its function as a key tourism, freight and energy corridor. EXTENSION OF WEx to Piarere Region’s number two transport priority SH5 Important inter-regional route connecting the lower BoP and Hawkes Bay regions supporting tourism function. NIMT Promote as primary rail freight corridor connecting upper and lower North Island. Note: Currently checking strategic corridor classifications for final map SH1 South of Taupo Improve network resilience, route reliability and safety in recognition of its function as a principal route linking Upper NI to WGN • TARANAKI • Support of inter-regionally significant transport activities • To be confirmed with RTC

  4. Draft maps of strategic corridor policy Support key Hamilton City projects that serve the economic development needs of the greater Hamilton Urban Area Prioritise and optimise networks and services for different modes e.g. public transport Ensure regionally significant corridors are protected and developed to serve the future development and transport needs of the region e.g. SH21 recognising its status as a key link for people and freight movements between SH1 and SH3 and Hamilton Airport Develop transport infrastructure services in high growth urban areas consistent with national policy requirements Note: Currently checking strategic corridor classifications for final map

  13. Outcome of National Programming Process • Focus on growth areas • Hamilton • North Waikato • Strategic corridors • SH1/29 • SH2 Pokeno to Tauranga • SH3 Waikato to Taranaki • SH1 south of Piarere • Safety & resilience • Region-wide • SH25 Coromandel

  14. Outcome of National Programming Process • What’s In – Significant activities • Hamilton Southern Links • SH1 Cambridge to Piarere long-term improvements • SH1 Piarere to Taupo short-term improvements • SH1 Taupo to Waiouru Improvements

  15. Outcome of National Programming Process • What’s Out – Significant activities • SH25 Coromandel long-term integrated improvements • Collaborative Network Management Systems Stage 2 • Hamilton Urban – SH1 Kahikatea Dr/Greenwood St long-term improvements • Central Plateau integrated improvements • SH1 Putaruru to Tokoroa* • SH1 Hatepe Hill to Turangi*

  16. Next steps • RAG meeting 13 October 2017 • Activities & timings • Prepare recommendation for RTC feedback • RTC prioritisation workshop 6 November 2017 • Feedback to Transport Agency on draft SHIP by end of November 2017 • RLTPs lodged end of April 2018 • NTLP published July 2018

  17. Questions?

  18. Regional Road Safety Update Fatalities Statistics (midnight 25 September 2017) ANZ Truckometer indices Figure 6 ANZ Heavy Traffic Index: Raw vs. SA Figure 7 ANZ Light Traffic Index: Raw vs. SA

  19. Pedestrian and cyclist crashes Small increases in speed greatly increase risk. At 50km/h the risk is 4x that at 30km/h. At over 90km/h the risk profile is fatal only. 110+ Cycling and pedestrian injury risk vs speed curves are very similar(Mackie Research Ltd)

  20. Recommendations: • 1. That the report ‘Road Safety Monitor Report – October 2017’ (Doc # 11035663 dated 14 September 2017) be received for information. • 2. That the Regional Transport Committee request the NZ Transport Agency to explicitly consider and mitigate for the safety of cyclists when planning for the implementation of 110km/hr speed limits on the Waikato Expressway. • 3. That the Regional Transport Committee request the NZ Transport Agency consult with the Waikato Regional Cycling Steering Group and Regional Road Safety Forum on the matter of planning for safe cycling along the Waikato Expressway corridor, where that section is intended to be upgraded to a 110km/hr speed limit, and report the outcomes back to the Committee for information.
