To provide Committee with information regarding the outcomes of the Your City Your Space Online Youth Forum, and to present five youth-safety project options based on suggestions received from young people through the forum for consideration.

Background 3. On 3 October 2008, the City of Melbourne hosted the City Safety Summit that included eighty key stakeholders. The aim of the summit was to canvass opinions about safety issues in the city and discuss potential solutions to problems identified. One of the key recommendations arising from the summit was to engage young people in discussions about safety to better understand their needs and concerns. 4. On 25 March 2009, a meeting was held with eleven young people and the CEO Dr. Kathy Alexander to identify effective ways of engaging young people in discussions of safety. The young people suggested that engaging youth through an online forum (e.g. using the Dell Ideas Storm Model - www.ideastorm.com.au) would enable young people to identify issues of safety, prioritise issues in terms of importance and suggest possible solutions in relation to identified issues. 5. A youth safety committee comprising ten young people from various youth organisations including Step Back Think Campaign, National Union of Students (NUS), Australian Federation of International Students (AFIS), Victorian Indigenous Youth Advisory Council (YIYAC) and the Youth Disability Advisory Service (YDAS) was established in June 2009 to work with City of Melbourne to develop an online safety forum and associated marketing campaign for young people. 6. Your City Your Space Online Forum ran for ten weeks from 21 September 2009 to 7 December 2009. The forum provided young people aged 12 to 25 years who lived, worked, studied and/or visited the city with the opportunity to identify issues of safety through the use of blogs (online commentary), to prioritise identified issues through a thumbs up/down rating system and to identify possible youth-lead solutions. 1 2 of 24 7. The name for the online forum was: “Your City, Your Space – Making your City Safer” with a URL for the forum being www.yourcityspace.com.au. Key issues 8. In total, there were 164 young people who became members of the forum. Usage totalled 2,493 unique views (individual or new site visits) and 4,426 views (i.e. the number of pages visited in the site). 9. Of the people who visited the site, over a quarter (26 percent) actively participated in the forum by making a post. In total, 134 posts were made. The posts were categorised into eleven key themes and young people were invited to make posts to the forum in relation to these key themes. The themes included drugs and alcohol, motor vehicle safety, pedestrian and cyclist safety, personal safety, policing and security, public transport, sexual harassment, sports safety, venues and space and violence. 10. As outlined in Attachment 1, the top five issues of importance identified by young people on the forum were: 10.1 lack of commonsense of young people; 10.2 issues relating to lack of late night public transport options; 10.3 chromers on trains and trams; 10.4 violence on public transport; and 10.5 boredom and lack of alcohol-free activities in the city. 11. Young people were also invited to suggest possible solutions to the safety issues identified. There were thirty-five solutions identified. Users of the site were invited to vote on the solutions that were important to them via a thumbs up/thumbs down rating system. The top five solutions identified were: 11.1 more allocated bike parking; 11.2 implement an education campaign for motorists and cyclists; 11.3 youth-lead education campaign and action in relation to combating violence in the city at night; 11.4 increase the number of officials patrolling public transport particularly in the afternoons and at night; and 11.5 run drug and alcohol free low cost and/or free activities and events for young people at night. Proposed Options 12. Five potential project options have been developed in relation to the top five solutions identified by young people on the Your City Your Space Forum. Four of the proposed options are informed by, and enhance, work currently being undertaken, while one option relates to new work. 2 3 of 24 13.

  • Public Transport Partnerships
    PUBLIC TRANSPORT PARTNERSHIPS An Overview of Passenger Rail Franchising in Victoria March 2005 Department of Infrastructure PUBLIC TRANSPORT PARTNERSHIPS An Overview of Passenger Rail Franchising in Victoria March 2005 Public Transport Division Department of Infrastructure © State of Victoria 2005 Published by Public Transport Division Department of Infrastructure 80 Collins Street, Melbourne March 2005 www.doi.vic.gov.au This publication is copyright. No part may be reproduced by any process except in accordance with the provisions of the Copyright Act 1968. Authorised by the Victorian Government, 80 Collins Street, Melbourne. Minister’s Foreword In February 2004, after the failure of the original privatisation framework, the Victorian Government entered into new franchise agreements with Melbourne’s public transport companies, Yarra Trams and Connex. These partnership agreements find the balance between government support for public transport in Melbourne and the operational expertise provided by experienced private rail operators. Almost one year on, the new arrangements are running smoothly, providing stability across the public transport system and giving a solid foundation for a range of improvements in service delivery. Some of the other benefits to passengers that stem from these agreements include: • Additional front-line customer service staff; • Increased security patrols; • Improved driver training programs; • All night New Year’s Eve services; • Additional rolling stock; and • Improved standards for the upkeep of transport facilities. The key themes of this summary report include the background to the failure of the original contracts, the renegotiations, the nature of the new partnership agreements and the challenges of the refranchising process. You can obtain the latest information about Melbourne’s public transport by visiting www.doi.vic.gov.au/transport I commend this report to you.

  • Investigation of the Relationship Between Transit Network Structure and the Network Effect – the Toronto & Melbourne Experience
    INVESTIGATION OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN TRANSIT NETWORK STRUCTURE AND THE NETWORK EFFECT – THE TORONTO & MELBOURNE EXPERIENCE By Karen Frances Woo A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Applied Science Department of Civil Engineering University of Toronto © Copyright by Karen Frances Woo 2009 Investigation of the Relationship between Transit Network Structure and the Network Effect – The Toronto & Melbourne Experience Karen Frances Woo Master of Applied Science Department of Civil Engineering University of Toronto 2009 Abstract The main objective of this study was to quantitatively explore the connection between network structure and network effect and its impact on transit usage as seen through the real-world experience of the Toronto and Melbourne transit systems. In this study, the comparison of ridership/capita and mode split data showed that Toronto’s TTC has better performance for the annual data of 1999/2001 and 2006. After systematically investigating travel behaviour, mode choice factors and the various evidence of the network effect, it was found that certain socio-economic, demographic, trip and other design factors in combination with the network effect influence the better transit patronage in Toronto over Melbourne. Overall, this comparative study identified differences that are possible explanatory variables for Toronto’s better transit usage as well as areas where these two cities and their transit systems could learn from one another for both short and long term transit planning and design. ii Acknowledgments This thesis and research would not have been possible without the help and assistance of many people for which much thanks is due.

Underpinned by policy that supports greater public transport use, reform was driven by three major government programs; SmartBus, minimum standards upgrades and local area service reviews. This paper briefly compares the distribution of each service initiative. Minimum standards upgrades were most widespread, benefiting many middle and outer suburbs. Middle suburbs gained most from SmartBus, especially the City of Manningham where it operates on city as well as orbital routes. And the service reviews were most influential in fringe areas to the west, north and south east.
