This is draft guidance, and we welcome your feedback |
The New Zealand Public Transport Design Guidance (PTDG) support regional and local councils to deliver high-quality, user-centric public transport. It provides a ‘one-stop-shop’ of best-practice guidance, specifically suited to New Zealand’s regulatory and operating environment.
The design principles of the guidelines are to be:
Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency developed the guidance collaboratively with an industry reference group, which includes members from a representative body of public transport operators and a range of councils (regional, local, Auckland Transport). These members are from across New Zealand, reflecting a range of contexts and perspectives.
The guidance currently focuses on infrastructure, currently available here:
Public transport design guidance
We’re working hard on other key infrastructure topics that we expect to become available over the next year - for now you’ll see a ‘coming soon’ timeframe for these. If you would like to be added to the PTDG mailing list so that we can let you know when new guidance is released please email ‘subscribe’ to PTDG@nzta.govt.nz
All topics are being released in draft form for six months while we seek your feedback. Following this they’ll be refined and then it’s expected that they will be finalised and ratified.
Other potential public transport topics, such as guidance focused on network planning or operational matters, may be developed in the future. The priorities for public transport guidance development in New Zealand are being identified as we work with our reference group.
We welcome your feedback on the current suite of guidance, and ideas for how our PTDG programme might help you deliver better public transport in the future.
