2. Intervention Logic Mapping (ILM)
Overview of process
Intervention Logic Mapping (ILM)
Problem statements presented at last RTC
Review problem statements
Incorporating feedback from RTC, context of Government Policy Statement, Regional Policy Statement, 2012 RLTS
Draft confirmed by sub-committee and circulated to RTC
Basis of objectives and prioritisation criteria
Prioritisation by Transport Officers Group

3. Challenges Freight Increased maintenance costs on local roads
Reliable travel times
Supporting efficiency (e.g. local access, HPMV)
Transport Choice
Providing alternatives to cars
Largely an issue for Christchurch where network at capacity
Earthquake
Repair of roads
Support of central city redevelopment
On-going land use changes

4. Challenges Safety Reducing deaths and serious injury
5. Resilience and long term sustainability
Resilient infrastructure (natural hazards, alternative routes).
Long term sustainability (fossil fuels, climate change, public health, demographic changes)
Land use & transport integration

5. Objectives Addressing current and future demand
Freight - providing for increased demand
People - emphasis on alternatives to cars where appropriate
Increasingly free from death and serious injury
Earthquake recovery is supported
Resilient and supports long term sustainability
Investment in land transport is efficient

6. Prioritization Process
Priority 1: Looking after what we have
Maintenance, renewals, existing public transport and road safety promotion
Priority 2: Completing projects already started / committed
Priority 3: Improvement projects with high strategic alignment
Scored by TOG across 5 criteria based on challenges and objectives
Priority 4: Other improvement projects
Those >$5M regionally significant
All others shown in Appendix 1.

7. Priority 1: Looking after what we have
Maintenance is core business for councils and NZTA
Over 80% of Council and NLTF expenditure in Canterbury
Most of the network does not have capacity issues i.e. main focus is on maintenance / keeping it fit for purpose is
Ensuring there is sufficient funding and that it is spent efficiently are the priority issues.
One Road Network Classification being developed
Maintenance and renewals includes earthquake repairs

8. Priority 2: Finishing what we have started
Regionally significant projects are:
Roads of National Significance (RONS)
Phase 1 of An Accessible City (Central City redevelopment)
Central bus exchange and suburban interchanges at Riccarton and Northlands
Wigram Magdala link
Ferrymead Bridge
Mingha Bluff to Rough Creek

9. Priority 3: Improvements with high strategic alignment
Rolleston to Lyttelton / Brougham Street Corridor
Waimakariri Bridge cycleway
10 urban cycleway in Christchurch
Public transport projects
An Accessible City projects (further prioritisation required)
16 intersection safety projects in Christchurch
3 State Highway safety projects (Ashley to Belfast, Rakaia to Ashburton, Pineacres)
13 network improvement projects with Christchurch
Rolleston CSM2 intersection upgrade
Lyttelton Tunnel deluge system

10. Priority 4: All other improvement projects
Only regionally significant ones shown in main body of RLTP (rest in Appendix 1)
Port of Timaru - under $5M but of strategic importance and may become higher priority with further investigation

11. Recommendations for sub-committee to consider
Any further changes as a result of councils' decisions on their programmes, particularly CCC
Further TOG review of priority rankings and consideration of listing all regionally significant projects in priority order or similar
Amendments to text to clarify link between issues / objectives / priority projects.
