The One Network Road Classification
 Differentiating the road network and delivering the right level of service

1. Categorise the road                   •   Developed jointly by local
network based on                             government/Transport Agency
function                                     (Waitaki DC, Christchurch CC, Western BoP DC,
                                             Auckland Transport in team)

   2. Define customer                    •   Will determine size of
   levels of service for each                Council’s programme
   category

                                         •   Ensures consistent Customer
      3. Determine gap                       Levels of Service between &
      between current &‘fit for              across individual Council
      purpose’ levels of service
                                             networks

                                         •   Is responsive to changes in
                                             network use
The One Network Road Classification
Integrated, nationally consistent classification

 • Recognises all roads are part of National Network
 • Categorises roads based on functions performed in national
   network
 • Helps local government & Transport Agency plan, invest,
   maintain and operate road network
 • Gives road users more consistency & certainty about what
   services to expect
 • Allows more strategic, consistent & affordable decision making
Implementing the ONRC
Expectations for NLTP 2015/18 and beyond

Completed by May 2014:
• Self-audit on capability to implement ONRC

For 2015 - 18 NLTP:
• All RCAs apply ONRC to networks - identify differences in Customer
   Levels of Service, agree appropriate performance measures,
   understand financial implications

• Alignment of network with ONRC agreed with Transport Agency
Implementing the ONRC
Expectations for NLTP 2015/18 and beyond

For 2015 - 18 NLTP (contd):
• RCAs with good analysis & information supported, through funding, to
   close gaps in Customer Levels of Service during 2015-18 NLTP

• Staged process for closing gaps – increases & decreases in customer
  levels of service expected.

For 2018 -21 NLTP:
• ONRC fully embedded in Asset Management Planning decision
   making & subsequent Regional Land Transport Programmes for 2018

State highway network and ONRC
Transport Agency has reclassified state highways using ONRC

                                                  using ONRC –
                                                  adopted at February
                                                  meeting of the
                                                  Transport Agency
                                                  Board
Applying the ONRC on your network
  Three steps in the process

                                             1. REGIONAL category:                Meet 2 criteria
1. Classifying roads into categories based      (incl. at least 1 of Typical Daily Traffic, HCV
   on their function in national network        or Buses & 1 economic or social criteria)
2. Customer Levels of Service - define       2. MOBILITY level of service - The
   what fit for purpose outcomes are for        majority of road users experience
   each category in terms of mobility,          consistent travel times with some
   safety, accessibility and amenity.           exceptions in urban heavy peak,
3. Performance Measures - how                   holidays, during major events or
   categories and customer levels of            during severe weather events.
   service translate into specific
   maintenance, operational and              3. PERFORMANCE MEASURES
   investment decisions.                        e.g.: A regionally strategic road will
                                                have X metre wide lanes and
                                                traffic services of Y and Z. The
                                                alignment will be……
A local example – Central Hawkes Bay DC

         Porangahau Road: (Approx. 50km long, starts with high AADT in
         Waipukurau and reduces significantly in rural area).

         •   Currently has one classification & will have two or three
             classifications under ONRC over full length of the road.

         •   As classification changes, how will customer levels of
             service change? (what will the driver experience)

         •   Do existing customer levels of service match proposed
             customer levels of service?

         •   What agreements are needed to enable classification and
             closing of customer levels of service gaps?
