The code of conduct can be summarised as be good, be respectful, be constructive. More specifically:

* Keep to the point: be mindful of contributing to the conversation within the topic and themes -- think before speaking

* Don't dominate the conversation: each person has a chance to speak once before anyone speaks a second time -- and don't repeat yourself

* Don't interrupt: be aware of not talking over others -- if you are talking or having a side-conversation, you are not listening

* Be respectful: put forward your views without demeaning or disrespecting the views of others -- challenge ideas, not people

* Don't be a jerk: help make the workshop a safe space where people are comfortable expressing views with which you may disagree -- and watch your body language

* Do not use slurs or offensive terms

* Do commit random acts of kindness

!! Background

The [[Wellington Regional Public Transport Plan
-> http://www.gw.govt.nz/rptp/]] sets the long-term direction for public transport in the region. It is our blueprint for an easier-to-use and more sustainable public transport network.

Wellington has a highly effective public transport system with high levels of patronage and customer satisfaction. The Regional Public Transport Plan builds on that strong base to develop an even better public transport network for the region.

The Plan includes significant initiatives that will improve the region's public transport over the next six to eight years, including:

* Redesigning train services giving people more travel options

* Simplifying the bus network, particularly in Wellington City, giving more people access more frequent services

* Moving towards an all-electric bus fleet with a transition period when the oldest diesel buses and the trolley bus fleet will be replaced with hybrids

* Introducing simpler fares with free transfers and integrated ticketing

Identify key elements of a strong Wellington public transport spine and the actions required to deliver a spine that supports efficient and effective public transport.

This workshop is about actions to implement a strong public transport spine.

!! Get Welly Moving big question

The [[Get Welly Moving web site -> http://getwellymoving.co.nz/]] says Wellingtonians value "an efficient and affordable public transport system" and that we think:

* public transport should be our top priority

* our city should be more pedestrian friendly

* some congestion is a fact of life

Is it better to tackle congestion in Wellington by:

[] expanding the urban motorway network, or

[] investing in a congestion-free rapid transit corridor, or

[] do we need both?

Why?


!! PT spine (railway station / hospital / airport) principles

(For Likert scale assessment + comments)

We need to design the PT spine around the needs of people, not cars.

We need to promote quality mixed-use and residential development along the PT spine.

We need to future-proof the PT spine corridor to enable future migration to rapid transit (light rail or BRT on a dedicated PT right-of-way).


!! PT spine strategies and best practices

(Identify barriers, changes, and comments)

We need to give public transport priority over other vehicular traffic.

We need PT services that are predictable (run to schedule) and fast enough to be an attractive alternative to the private car.

We need efficient transfers to and from other services at PT hubs, including suburban rail services, feeder bus routes, and park and ride for cars and bikes.

We need to reduce dramatically the number of peak hour buses on the Golden Mile.

We need to make the Golden Mile PT and pedestrian only (with off peak access for commercial delivery vehicles).

We need to prevent vehicular traffic, including other buses, from delaying PT services.

We need to price PT services so they are cost-competitive with other transport choices, such as relative to the cost of parking a car.


!! Further discussion questions

What other changes to the PT system are needed to make it more attractive?

Who should be targeted to get them to shift mode, and what changes would be needed to get them to shift?

What changes are needed to better integrate walking, cycling and PT?

Where would the most patronage gains be made in terms of competing with cars?

How could the PT strategies and changes be extended to other urban spaces, such as Newtown, Porirua City, Hutt City?

What are the biggest problems that are making PT unpleasant for current riders? To what extent will the proposed strategies and other changes fix these?


!! Before you leave question

What's most important to you? If you could wave a magic wand and make just ''one PT wish'', what would you wish for?


!! What happens next
