Thanks Amy.
 
On your other request, our Regional Public Transport Plan submission is still being drafted and
tidied up, and I don’t have access to the full version yet, but some of the content is likely to
include:
 
We support the vision and direction, and the three strategic areas of focus
We support LGWM and implementing the Bus Priority Action Plan
We are looking forward to a PT fare review to address our concerns about fairness and
affordability.
Minor corrections to rapid transit network references, based on draft RLTP text and
legislative definitions.
Clarifying Metlink’s role in working with territorial authorities to identify other rapid
transit corridors, including which rail stations provide access to rapid transit services, to
ensure transport and land-use planning around rapid transit stops is done in an integrated
and iterative way.
GW and territorial authorities to work together to investigate whether some Park and
Rides could have apartment development above them, as part of transit-oriented
development.
Correcting references to growth calculations in the Regional Growth Framework
Saying that options for LGWM MRT include light rail, articulated buses and trackless
trams.
 
If you’re curious about any of these points, feel free to call back for a chat. Please use the above
summary only for your own reference in preparing your own submission.

If you could please keep this close for now, as we still need to close the loop with AT/TSIG, along
with advising timing for publication/next steps.
 
I’ll include you in that communication.
