TOWARDS GPS 2018

5. Environmental impact Government has made commitments on COP21
Transport is a significant contributor; light vehicles are the largest contributor to carbon emissions for transport
There are no easy solutions given:
NZ’s topography and layout of our cities and regions
our need for high levels of mobility due to population spread
we tend to buy the car we can afford, rather than the ‘best’ car
TOWARDS GPS 2018

6. Future options for transport
Mobility as a service is changing
Technology changes allow new types of services
How do we bridge the gap between ‘now’ and ‘utopia’?
TOWARDS GPS 2018

7. GPS 2018 builds on shared knowledge & experience
JOINED UP NETWORK we want to tell a better story about multi-modal, and modal integration REFLECTING ROAD USER NEEDS NLTF funding comes from road users – this implies a social contract that investment should meet road user needs FOCUSSING ON NATIONAL FRAMEWORK but also looking hard at issues facing metros and non metros
TOWARDS GPS 2018

8. GPS 2018: Conversation starters
A FUTURE GPS
If you could influence 2 or 3 changes to the GPS, what would they be?
What would you trade off to make those changes?
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITY CLASS STRUCTURE
How useful is the structure?
Does it make sense?
ECONOMIC GROWTH AND PRODUCTIVITY
Does economic growth and productivity as described in the GPS adequately address what is important in your region?
INNOVATION AND TECHNOLOGY
Should we, and if so how should we, consider innovation and technology within the GPS
