Transport in the Cumberland Community Research Report June 2020 Transport in the Cumberland Community Research Report June 2020 Document Set ID: 8005199 Version: 9, Version Date: 13/08/2020 Report prepared by the Social Research and Planning Team, Community and Place, Cumberland City Council 2020 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF COUNTRY Cumberland City Council acknowledges the Darug Nation and People as the traditional custodians of the land on which the Cumberland Local Government Area is situated and pays respect to Aboriginal Elders past, present and emerging. We acknowledge the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples as the First Peoples of Australia. Cumberland City Council also acknowledges other Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples living and working in the Cumberland Local Government Area. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF PARTICIPANTS Cumberland City Council would like to acknowledge and thank everyone who participated in this research. This report would not have been possible without your time and willingness to share your stories and experiences. Document Set ID: 8005199 Version: 9, Version Date: 13/08/2020 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report presents findings from research into key transport and mobility challenges for the Cumberland community. This research was conducted between August 2019 and April 2020 and is grounded in empirical data sourced from the Australian Bureau of Statistics and Transport for NSW, amongst other sources, and extensive community engagement. Quality transport options are fundamental to accessing many essential services, education, employment and social and recreational activities. Although three train lines run through the Cumberland LGA, in addition to the T80 high frequency bus route, many Cumberland residents still have difficulties getting around. Major barriers raised by the community relate to reliability, frequency and coverage of services. A lack of options often adds complexities to journey planning, especially when there are unexpected delays or cancellations. Even where there are options available, some community members are not aware of them, do not know how to access them or are apprehensive. Furthermore, certain cohorts and geographic areas have greater challenges accessing transport options. Proposed future transport infrastructure projects may address some challenges, however these are costly long-term projects. This research report presents a number of grassroots opportunities that can be implemented in a more cost-efficient manner and at shorter timeframes. These opportunities can broadly be categorised as either local initiatives or advocacy (noting some of these have been identified and are more suitable for community rather than Council to undertake): Local initiatives Travel training program Licence suspension and cancellation assistance Learner driver mentoring program Granny trolley promotions and giveaways Bicycle infrastructure project investigations Investigation of specific transport improvements for people with disabilities Bus stop and train station infrastructure and information Local community language speaker badges for transport personnel Cultural competency and disability awareness training for transport personnel Local transport guides Facilitating community input and advocacy during bus region contract renewals Service improvements and bus route proposals Local car sharing schemes Advocacy Better transport data Reconsider metrics for access to public transport Better communications of transport upgrades and service changes Changes to Opal Cards Transport in the school curriculum NDIS and Commonwealth Home Support Program advocacy i Document Set ID: 8005199 Version: 9, Version Date: 13/08/2020 CONTENTS Executive summary...................................................................................................................i Background..............................................................................................................................1 Introduction...........................................................................................................................1 Key transport terms ..............................................................................................................1 Policy context .......................................................................................................................2 Role of local government......................................................................................................6 Research design ......................................................................................................................6 Research aim and scope......................................................................................................6 Methodology.........................................................................................................................6 Research limitations .............................................................................................................8 Research participants...........................................................................................................8 A snapshot of transport in Cumberland .................................................................................11 Community profile ..............................................................................................................11 The existing transport network ...........................................................................................15 The planned transport network...........................................................................................16 Research findings ..................................................................................................................18 General findings .................................................................................................................18 Cohort-specific findings ......................................................................................................22 Opportunities..........................................................................................................................25 Local initiatives ...................................................................................................................25 Advocacy............................................................................................................................30 Appendix 1.
