1 Background and purposeWaikato Regional Council (WRC) and Waikato District Council (WDC) are jointly embarking on a review of public transport services in North Waikato to ensure the current service provision is fit for purpose and can meet current and future needs.

The review of the Regional Public Transport Plan (RPTP) in 2014/15 has identified a need to investigate public transport provision in the northern part of the region, and in particular, Tuakau and Pokeno where significant growth is expected over the next 10-20 years. This growth will lead to increased demand for transport infrastructure and services, particularly for access to employment and community services within the North Waikato area and to other parts of Waikato and Auckland.

There are currently limited public transport options available within the North Waikato:

A fortnightly bus service operates between Hamilton and Pukekohe via Ngaruawahia, Huntly, Te Kauwhata, Meremere, Pokeno and Tuakau.

A Papakura to Pukekohe bus service extends through to Tuakau for one morning and one evening service each weekday.

One off-peak return trip between Tuakau and Pukekohe each Wednesday and Thursday. The Thursday service extends to Port Waikato.

Whilst there has been a lot of community interest and feedback about the need for improved public transport in North Waikato in recent years, no formal community consultation or engagement has been undertaken to date. Therefore, the first step in the project is to carry out a household travel survey in the North Waikato area to collect relevant information regarding household travel demands and needs.

The household survey was conducted over a three week period, 20 June – Sunday 10 July 2016. This report provides a summary of the key findings from the survey and highlights key areas for consideration in respect to future planning of transport infrastructure and services in North Waikato.

Doc # 8840644

2 Survey methodology and key findingsThe survey was available to all residents in the North Waikato area for a three week period, Monday 20 June to Sunday 10 July 2016 via printed surveys at council offices, libraries, on buses and at other key locations in the district. The survey was also available online for the three week period at www.waikatodistrict.govt.nz/sayit

The survey questionnaire is attached in appendix 1 of the report and it was designed to capture information from the residents in North Waikato about:

Key transport challenges or needs; How they travel and the origin and destination of their trips; Purpose of their journeys; and Likelihood of using public transport for their journeys if the service was available.

2.2 Key findings Overall, the key findings from the surveys were:

1. There is a lack of public transport in the North Waikato area – over 42% of respondents (105) have identified lack of public transport options or the need to improve public transport as the main transport challenge for their household. The Hamilton to Pukekohe fortnightly bus service was mentioned a number of times, with calls to increase this service frequency.

2. People in these communities also have limited transport choices - 10 % of respondents (25) have limited or no access to private vehicles due to disability or age.

3. There is a willingness to use public transport if available – a high proportion of respondents have indicated that they are likely to use public transport if it is available, with 63% likely to use public transport for shopping and leisure purposes, 55% for health services and 48% for work related trips.

4. There is a strong community interest for passenger rail – 24% of respondents (61) have identified issues relating to rail – either wanting new services in the Waikato or noted issues regarding train services in Auckland (access to train stations, lack of parking, and service reliability and frequency). Tuakau and Pokeno residents in particular called for a rail service to Auckland. Note that Pokeno residents also mentioned buses as a viable option for travel to/from Auckland, with 58% saying they would use a bus if it was available.

5. Traffic congestion in Auckland came up frequently, with 13% of people (30) indicating traffic congestion in Auckland as the main transport challenge for their household.

6. People are traveling further for work, education, health and recreational activities – the survey results showed that residents in North Waikato tend to travel longer distances for employment, education, health services and recreational activities with the most common destination being; Auckland (47% of all trips), Pukekohe (16% of all trips) and Hamilton (11% of all trips). This is also consistent with the 2013 Census Journey to Work data where two thirds of daily commuter trips in North Waikato are travelling north and one third are travelling south to Huntly, Hamilton and other parts of the region (as highlighted in figures 3.6.1 and 3.6.2).

Doc # 8840644

7. Transport needs and demand are varied across towns- For example, most of the trips in Tuakua and Pokeno were related to work/education during peak times, while other towns have more trips for shopping or healthcare which are more evenly spread across peak and off peak.
