• 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.

Part 2 – Rail in Auckland
13
• 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.
Why a new rail franchise for Auckland?

Rail growth has averaged 15% per year since 2003

Rail investment has underpinned growth
16
• 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.
