• Auckland Transport is a Council Controlled Organisation of Auckland Council

• Auckland Transport is responsible for all of the region’s transport services (excluding state

highways), from roads and footpaths, to cycling, parking and public transport.

• Auckland Transport's day-to-day activities keep Auckland's transport systems moving;

including planning, funding and contracting of public transport, promoting alternative ways

to get around and operating the local roading network.

• Our aim is to deliver the transport system required to support the Auckland Plan’s

objective to become the world’s most liveable city.

• The Auckland Plan is the region’s long-term spatial plan looking ahead to 2050. It

considers how we will address our key challenges of high population growth, shared

prosperity, and environmental degradation.

• For Auckland Transport, achieving the outcomes and priorities of the Auckland Plan is

linked with meeting key targets for increasing public and active transport mode share,

reduced greenhouse gas emissions, improved accessibility, lower congestion for public

transport, delivery of services and freight, travel time savings and the delivery of transport

infrastructure priorities over the next three decades.

• The current contract that governs rail operations in Auckland has been in place since

2004, with only minor modifications during that time.

• Consequently the operating and commercial model, risk allocation and incentive

mechanisms are no longer considered optimal for the purpose of delivering a modern

metro rail service in which customers are at the heart.

• By 2021, rail operating costs and service capability in Auckland will not have been subject

to competitive pressure for 17 years.

• We are delivering rail in an environment of sustained growth and expected step change

with the opening of the City Rail Link in 2024.

• Auckland Transport, and our funding partner the NZ Transport Agency, are therefore

highly motivated to attract strong market interest in the Auckland rail franchise opportunity

and ensure a fair, open and contestable tender process.

• Between 2003 and 2017 Auckland’s population grew 28 per cent, yet

public transport patronage increased by 63 per cent − more than double

the population growth.

• For the 12 months to March 2019, Auckland public transport patronage

totalled 98.2 million passenger boardings, an increase of +6.9% on the

previous year.

• The rail patronage target of 20 million trips per year by 2019, originally

set by the government for funding of the CRL, was achieved at the end

of 2016, three years ahead of schedule.
