National Land Transport Strategy

Maurice Williamson Transport

INTRODUCTION

Moving freight and people, where we live, where we work, or where we
spend our leisure time involves the use of land transport in some way. Its
impact goes to the core of our way of life. New Zealand's economy cannot be
sustained without it. The shape of our communities and the quality of life we
experience are all part of the wider land transport picture.

It affects us all, often without us realising it.

So what is your view for land transport in the year 2010? Or even
further out, say in the year 2025?

How does that compare with what you see now? What is the gap between the
present and the future? What changes are needed to close the gap? What role
does the Government have in land transport, both now and in the future?

These are questions that will be asked over the next year or so. The
answers will help to set the scene for the development of a National Land
Transport Strategy. This will become the touchstone for all decisions and
developments shaping the future of land transport.

And you have a role in shaping the future. To find out how, keep
reading!

The purpose of this document is to seek your comments on a proposed
consultation process to develop the National Land Transport Strategy.

There is a form included to register your interest in attending a
National Vision and Issues Workshop for the National Land Transport Strategy.

For your information, and prior to setting out the proposed consultation
process, we have set out background information and an outline of the purpose
and possible scope of the National Land Transport Strategy.

What do we mean by land transport? In essence it's anything relating to
how we move on the land. It's the roads, the footpaths, the railway lines. It's
the cars, trains, buses, bicycles, motorbikes, trucks and tractors. Whether it's
infrastructure, the vehicles or the people who use them, all are encompassed by
land transport (harbour ferries are also classed as land transport passenger
services).

Why have a Strategy?

Regional Land Transport Strategies, which set out future goals and
activities for each of the country's local government regions, have been in
place since October 1993 and reviewed at least once since then. What has been
missing, however, is a framework within which these regional strategies can be
developed for maximum effectiveness. While the regional strategies are
successful on a local basis, there are some issues common to regions that make
a national policy desirable.

A national strategy will provide a lead to regional strategies, and
allow greater planning certainty for regional authorities and central
government entities involved in land transport.

A national strategy will align the land transport sector with the
Government's strategic path through to the next century, as set out in the
Government's 'Path to 2010' and 'Environment 2010' documents. The Government
has developed a number of strategy documents and identified strategic result
areas of relevance to land transport - these are listed in Appendix 1.

The National Land Transport Strategy will align the land transport
sector to Government's international obligations with relevance to land
transport (which are listed in Appendix 2).

What Will The Strategy Do?

The purpose of the National Land Transport Strategy is to develop long
term land transport goals and policy objectives, and measurable targets to be
met to achieve those policy objectives.

Operational strategies to give effect to the National Land Transport
Strategy will then be developed, or existing strategies modified, by land
transport Crown entities, the New Zealand Police, and local authorities, in
association with the transport sector and other interested parties.

Rather than being a detailed central planning exercise, the National
Land Transport Strategy will provide a statement of overall direction and scope
for land transport development in the long term.

Its main impact will be to focus the development and implementation of
policies and strategies by Crown entities and local authorities towards
achieving long term land transport goals.

This will ensure that strategies are coordinated and that there is no
duplication of effort. Central government will also consult with interested
groups during the development of the National Land Transport Strategy.

HOW WILL THE NATIONAL LAND TRANSPORT
STRATEGY BE USED
?

Regional Councils will have two years after completion of the national strategy
to ensure that Regional Land Transport Strategies are not inconsistent with the
National Land Transport Strategy.

The Land Transport Safety Authority, Transfund New Zealand, Transit New
Zealand, the New Zealand Police, and the Ministry of Transport shall ensure
that their actions are not inconsistent with any national land transport
strategy that is currently in force. In the case of the Commissioner of Police,
the above is exempted where the Commissioner's statutory functions or duties or
common law obligations in any particular case otherwise require.

Funding from the National Roads Fund will be spent only on activities
that are not inconsistent with the National Land Transport Strategy.

The Crown will ensure that legislative changes are not inconsistent with
the National Land Transport Strategy.

RELEVANT LEGISLATION

Section 29 of the Land Transport Act 1993 enables the Minister of
Transport to complete a national land transport strategy. It indicates its
content, (s.29A(2)), sets out the procedure for its development, (s.29B(1)),
promulgation, (s.29B(2), updating, (s.29D), longevity, (s.29C) and
effect(s.29E). Once the first national land transport strategy is developed the
Minister must ensure that, at all times after the completion of the first
national land transport strategy, there is a current national land transport
strategy (s.29C(2)). Some of those legislation provisions are set out below.

Content

S.29A provides -

"(2) The national land transport strategy may include statements
of-

(a) The Crown's goals in relation to land transport in New Zealand; and
(b) The policy objectives to be pursued to achieve the Crown's goals in
relation to land transport in New Zealand; and
(c) The measurable targets to be met to achieve those policy objectives.

(3) The national land transport strategy shall not be inconsistent with
any national policy statement for the time being in force under the Resource
Management Act 1991."

Development Procedure

S.29B provides-

"(1) Before completing the national land transport strategy, the
Minister shall -

(a) Publish a notice of his or her proposal to complete the strategy in
the daily newspapers published in Auckland, Hamilton, Wellington, Christchurch,
and Dunedin, respectively, and publish the notice in the Gazette; and
(b) Give interested persons a reasonable time, which shall be specified in the
notice published under paragraph (a) of this subsection, to make submissions on
the proposal; and
(c) Consult such persons, representative groups within the land transport
industries or elsewhere, Government departments, and Crown entities as the
Minister in each case considers appropriate."

Term of the Strategy

S29C provides-

"(1) The national land transport strategy shall -

(b) Subject to section 29D of this Act, remain current for 10 years or
any lessor period specified in the strategy."

Section 29D provides that any amendment or revocation of a national land
transport strategy be through the procedure as provided in section 29B of the
Act.

TRANSPORT VISION

The development of a shared vision for the National Land Transport
Strategy will be a very important first step in the process. Issues to discuss
in the development of the National Land Transport Strategy will fall out of
this initial stage.

Land Transport Vision

The Government's vision for the transport sector as a whole is:
"New Zealand will have safe, sustainable transport at reasonable
cost"
Where:

"Safe" means a reasonable freedom from danger, personal
physical risk and risk of property damage.

"Sustainable" means economic, social and environmental
sustainability.

"At reasonable cost" means the benefits to New Zealand exceed
the costs to New
Zealand.

(Source: "Transport Directions 1994 - 1999")

We want to hear your vision as to what Land Transport should be. A
vision specifically for Land Transport will come out of the sharing of each
others' visions. To do this, a national workshop will be held.

Access to Information

The National Land Transport Strategy will not override existing domestic
law. So, to help place the strategy in context, we have attached a list of New
Zealand statutes (refer to Appendix 3).

Having access to information is a very important part of consultation.
Appendix 4 sets out a list of land transport policy discussion documents and
other relevant reports, such as the National Road Safety Plan and relevant
brochures. Copies of these papers are available from the Ministry of Transport,
or from the relevant department or agency. If you need information that is not
listed, please let us know.

ISSUES

A wide range of issues need to be considered during the development of a
National Land Transport Strategy.

The following list of issues is not intended to be exhaustive in number
or in detail. The issues illustrate what the National Land Transport Strategy
could relate to.

Safety

  • Performance, effectiveness,
    and criteria for safety projects, programmes and other activities;
  • Accountabilities,
    responsibilities and the coordination of Crown entities with land
    transport safety roles;
  • International comparison of
    New Zealand's land transport safety record:
    • how we currently rate;
    • how and where we can
      improve;
  • Comparison between land
    transport and other transport modes from a safety point of view.

Environmental Sustainability

  • Integration of goals and
    objectives for land transport energy efficiency and environmental effects
    in the local, national, and global context;
  • Linkages between urban
    planning and transport planning;
  • Minimising the environmental
    impacts from the provision, maintenance and use of land transport
    infrastructure;
  • Pricing land transport
    infrastructure to reflect environmental costs and benefits.

Economic
Sustainability

  • Efficiency and cost
    effectiveness in meeting the needs of land transport users;
  • Pricing land transport
    infrastructure to reflect economic costs and benefits;
  • Comparison between land
    transport and other transport modes from an economic sustainability view;
  • Provision and maintenance of
    land transport infrastructure - the role of the Crown, local government,
    and the private sector;
  • Contribution to Government's
    economic growth and international competitiveness objectives.

Social Sustainability

  • Reasonable access for all
    parts of society, including disabled groups and individuals, to land
    transport services;
  • Effect of land transport on
    lifestyles and community identity.

Funding Objectives
and Mechanisms

  • Role of the Crown in the
    provision of funding, including setting user charges;
  • Role of the Crown in the
    allocation of funding;
  • Other sources of land
    transport funding;
  • Funding mechanisms and
    priority setting.

Implementation

  • Integration of regional
    strategies with the national strategy;
  • Monitoring performance
    against measurable targets to assess whether policy objectives are
    achieved.

Relationship Between National Land
Transport Strategy And Other Land Transport Policy Developments

The Ministry of Transport has currently in process a number of projects
on land transport policy. Consultation on these issues will take place in
addition to the National Land Transport Strategy. As progress is made on the
various policy papers, the relevant results may be integrated into the National
Land Transport Strategy. At the same time, as the National Land Transport
Strategy is developed, it may contribute to the direction and scope of current
projects. Policy decisions made after completion of the National Land Transport
Strategy must be not inconsistent with the Strategy. Projects in progress are:

  • The Land Transport Pricing
    Study, the objective of which is to ensure that land transport pricing and
    the regulatory framework are placed on a rational basis;
  • A discussion paper on the
    potential role of the Transport Accident Investigation Commission in road
    safety;
  • A review of road safety
    management. This project has commenced and a discussion paper on this
    subject is due to be released later this year;
  • The development of a
    National Vehicle Fleet Strategy to improve air quality by lowering the
    level of noxious vehicle emissions and improve the overall energy
    efficiency of the vehicle fleet; and,
  • A review of land transport
    funding options and investment issues through to the year 2000.

Copies of discussion papers released to date on the above projects are
listed in Appendix 4.

The Ministry of Transport is also preparing an Information Strategy which
will provide a high quality database and performance measures for the transport
sector.

PROPOSED
CONSULTATION PROCESS

Consultation for the development of the National Land Transport Strategy
will take place on several levels and in two phases.

The first phase - Consultation Phase 1 - will involve the participation
of major interest groups in the development of the draft National Land
Transport Strategy.

At the national level, interested organisations will participate in a
Transport Strategy Group (TSG). The Chair/Facilitator of the TSG will be
provided by the Ministry of Transport.

At the same time, and to gain a regional perspective, all Regional Land
Transport Committees will be invited to give their recommendations for the
draft National Land Transport Strategy.

The following summarises the proposed levels of participation in the
consultation process by interested groups and individuals.

Where do you fit in?

  • As a national group, you may
    either participate in the Transport Strategy Group, or have your interests
    represented in the Group by another organisation acting on your behalf.

Or;

  • As a regional interest
    group, you can channel your views through your Regional Land Transport
    Committee. However, direct submissions or enquiries may be made to the
    Ministry of Transport by any interested organisation or person.

Or;

  • As tangata whenua, you can
    channel your regional view through your Regional Land Transport
    Committees, or discuss your views directly with the Ministry of Transport.

Or;

  • You can send in a submission
    on the draft National Land Transport Strategy and/or attend forums, during
    Consultation Phase 2 (see page 12).

Representatives from government departments and land transport Crown entities will form an officials Land Transport Strategy Committee. The role of this group will be to coordinate government agency interaction with the TSG, and other groups as necessary throughout the consultation process.

Consultation Phase 2 will involve a wider release of the draft National Land Transport Strategy for public submission. Interested groups that participated in Phase 1 will continue to meet and contribute to the final development of the National Land Transport Strategy.
