The FAR Review – Special purpose roads 16 territorial authorities have SPRs Individual transition plans for each Council –role, level of service, upcoming work SPRs will attract Could transition a Council’s separately from other activities, but still normal FAR by within 9-years 2023
The FAR Review – Emergency works National consistency and better resilience management If cost to respond 10% short duration will be funded natural events at normal FAR plus 20%
The One Network Road Classification Differentiating the road network and delivering the right level of service 1. Categorise the road • Developed jointly by local network based on government/Transport Agency function (Waitaki DC, Christchurch CC, Western BoP DC, Auckland Transport in team) 2. Define customer • Will determine size of levels of service for each Council’s programme category • Ensures consistent Customer 3. Determine gap Levels of Service between & between current &‘fit for across individual Council purpose’ levels of service networks • Is responsive to changes in network use
The One Network Road Classification Integrated, nationally consistent classification • Recognises all roads are part of National Network • Categorises roads based on functions performed in national network • Helps local government & Transport Agency plan, invest, maintain and operate road network • Gives road users more consistency & certainty about what services to expect • Allows more strategic, consistent & affordable decision making
Implementing the ONRC Expectations for NLTP 2015/18 and beyond Completed by May 2014: • Self-audit on capability to implement ONRC For 2015 - 18 NLTP: • All RCAs apply ONRC to networks - identify differences in Customer Levels of Service, agree appropriate performance measures, understand financial implications • Alignment of network with ONRC agreed with Transport Agency
Implementing the ONRC Expectations for NLTP 2015/18 and beyond For 2015 - 18 NLTP (contd): • RCAs with good analysis & information supported, through funding, to close gaps in Customer Levels of Service during 2015-18 NLTP • Staged process for closing gaps – increases & decreases in customer levels of service expected. For 2018 -21 NLTP: • ONRC fully embedded in Asset Management Planning decision making & subsequent Regional Land Transport Programmes for 2018 NLTP process
State highway network and ONRC Transport Agency has reclassified state highways using ONRC Reclassified state highway network using ONRC – adopted at February meeting of the Transport Agency Board
Applying the ONRC on your network Three steps in the process 1. REGIONAL category: Meet 2 criteria 1. Classifying roads into categories based (incl. at least 1 of Typical Daily Traffic, HCV on their function in national network or Buses & 1 economic or social criteria) 2. Customer Levels of Service - define 2. MOBILITY level of service - The what fit for purpose outcomes are for majority of road users experience each category in terms of mobility, consistent travel times with some safety, accessibility and amenity. exceptions in urban heavy peak, 3. Performance Measures - how holidays, during major events or categories and customer levels of during severe weather events. service translate into specific maintenance, operational and 3. PERFORMANCE MEASURES investment decisions. e.g.: A regionally strategic road will have X metre wide lanes and traffic services of Y and Z. The alignment will be……
A local example – Central Hawkes Bay DC Porangahau Road: (Approx. 50km long, starts with high AADT in Waipukurau and reduces significantly in rural area). • Currently has one classification & will have two or three classifications under ONRC over full length of the road. • As classification changes, how will customer levels of service change? (what will the driver experience) • Do existing customer levels of service match proposed customer levels of service? • What agreements are needed to enable classification and closing of customer levels of service gaps?
Where FAR and ONRC meet Ratepayer share $ ONRC Road user + size $ • FAR is central government share $ contribution to the Council’s FAR programme • ONRC will determine the size of the Council’s programme • Combined they determine the final dollar amount Council will = NLTP receive from NLTF
