1. STEWARDSHIP OF OUR ROADS Regional Presentation - Auckland 22 July 2014

2. Workshop outline Why REG and the ONRC? Classification and moderation process ONRC Performance measures Development, intent, methodology LUNCH ONRC Performance measures cont. How ONRC links to: Business case approach, AMPs (transition plan), investment process Next steps and EquiP support

3. About the Road Efficiency Group (REG) A collaborative initiative by the road controlling authorities of NZ – we are in this together, sharing the risks and benefits! It’s our responsibility to provide long-term stewardship of our roading assets. This means making smart, whole-of-life, value-for- money investment decisions to deliver the right level of service.

4. Why REG? Land transport delivery model unchanged since 1989. Expenditure increases 2003 – 2010 not sustainable. GFC 2008 GPS 2012 & 2015

5. Why REG cont. RMTF = NZTA, TLAs, industry reps Opportunities: - better value and performance through collaboration and best practice asset management - consistent classification of roads and levels of service Establishment of Road Efficiency Group (REG).

6. What’s driving all this? Transport system is backbone of export-led economy. Business Growth Agenda o Raise ratio of exports to GDP from 30% to 40% by 2025. Issues for road asset management: o Changing demographics o Land-use changes o Increasing costs of input o Aging of existing pavements and bridges o Funding limitations o Increased traffic volumes and heavier vehicles. o Increased level of service expectations of road users.

7. What are the practical implications? a change in thinking for all of us – will require effort! - we all have areas where we can grow and improve more sophisticated asset management optimised decision making applying and developing appropriate technologies REG = foster a ‘smart-buyer’ philosophy Clients who can confidently acquire the best value for money for road users

8. REG – our key areas of focus

9. Supporting the challenge REG AMP Group: Sharing best practice o Engagement o Case studies (national and international) o Shared AMPs, including audits Collaboration One Network Road Classification Road Transportation Unit (EquiP)

11. Will provide: targeted support for local authorities to strengthen strategic thinking which will help implement changes to Activity Management Plans which will facilitate improvement in transport-related activity management planning. The Road Transportation Unit

12. What help do you need in implementing changes to Transitional Activity Management Plans? - moving from what's been done to - what new Business As Usual will look like... The Road Transportation Unit

13. ONRC - recap Signed off by REG GG in Dec 2013 after: Engagement RCA validation

14. Classifying your network Use the RAMM ONRC upgrade ‘How to’ video & manual available

15. When classifying your network: Importance of consistency, coherence and local knowledge Consider: Updating/cleaning up RAMM data Cross-boundary classifications Local/regional consistency for scenic routes and tourist destinations Critical connectivity – life-line or significant place Access to ports, inland ports, airports and hospitals – direct connection Any questions?

16. Classification moderation 3 phases: timeframe – Sept to Dec 2014 Phase 1 – following classification Discussion with Agency PIM: Roads changed from ‘default’ classification and reasons Identification of any Cross-boundary issues Identification of issues of consistency, e.g. tourism Need to decide how going to approach metros and large urban areas

17. Classification moderation (cont) Phase 2: Regional moderation (RAG/TAG): Use of Agency Geospatial tool Discussion of: Identification of any cross-boundary issues Local/regional consistency - classification categories & qualitative criteria How the Geospatial tool will work: RCA classified network uploaded to the tool Networks displayed at moderation sessions Any agreed changes provided as a data file for RCA to input back into RAMM then maps locked down for 2015-18 NLTP, AMPs and national moderation

18. Classification moderation (cont) Phase 3: National moderation (ONRC project team): Assessment of the national network – are the proportions of classification categories about right? Not proposed that any RCA classifications would be changed during this process Thoughts on proposed moderation process?
