Consultation is now open: Auckland Transport
New Network – Auckland Transport
Consultation is
now open
Have your say on the proposed New
Network for South Auckland
From June 19 to 4pm, 2 August, consultation is open for the new public transport network proposed for South Auckland. Now's the chance to have your say. Visit our website to see the New Network maps, details of the changes we're proposing, and to submit your feedback.
Introducing the New Network
Over the
next few years, Auckland Transport is moving to a simpler
and more integrated public transport network for Auckland.
This will deliver a New Network of buses and trains that
will change the way people travel, allowing more passengers
to simply ‘turn up and go’ rather than planning trips
around a timetable. The New Network will be implemented in
phases and we’re starting with South Auckland.
To learn
more about how the New Network will change the way we use
public transport in Auckland, watch
the video.
Make your feedback count
How to make an informed submission
Comprehensive information including maps,
details
of the changes proposed, and what’s
being proposed for each suburb, are now available on the
Auckland Transport website, to help you make an informed
submission on the New Network proposed for South Auckland.
In order to make your feedback count, it’s important that you channel it to us through one of the mechanisms below:
via the online
feedback form
by filling out and sending us the
freepost form attached to the Southern Consultation
Brochures (available on our
website, at open
days or from libraries, service centres and local board
offices in South Auckland) or by calling (09) 366 6400
People who are blind or low vision, or have difficulty
filling out forms or using the internet due to a disability
can call 09 366 6400 and we will complete the form on their
behalf.
Translations of the consultation brochure are available in Maori, Tongan, Samoan, Korean, Hindi, Punjabi and Chinese (simplified and traditional) and in various accessible formats.
What will happen after consultation closes?
Your
feedback is important to us. All submissions will be
analysed, reported on and considered along side a number of
other factors. Once the New Network for South Auckland is
finalised, we’ll be going out to tender for the new bus
services. Actual implementation of the New Network for South
Auckland is expected for early 2015.
New timetables will
be available prior to implementation to help you plan your
journey ahead of any changes made.
Still have questions?
You can come along to an open
day being held near you and ask an Auckland Transport
representative, or call (09) 366 6400.
