The South Australian Road Safety Strategy 2003-10 confi rms the Government’s commitment to road safety. Through the strategy the department will focus on initiatives to improve South Australia’s road safety performance to enable the State to reach the national road safety target by the end of 2010. With these initiatives and others, the department is looking forward to a year full of challenges and opportunities.

The services, which currently involve use of about 760 buses that carry 47 million passengers per year in a service area of 880 square kilometres, had been operated by a Governm ent organisation. Services were contracted out prim arily on an areas basis, with ten area and four route contracts. By 1996 two contracts had been awarded to a private operator and three to the Governm ent operator following two rounds of com petitive tendering. Rem aining services were provided by the Governm ent operator through negotiated contracts. A review of the bus contracting system was undertaken in 1998, and features of the system modified, including a reduction in the num ber of contracts to six area and one route contract.

  • The Financial Cost of Transport in Adelaide
    Australasian Transport Research Forum 2013 Proceedings 2 - 4 October 2013, Brisbane, Australia Publication website: http://www.patrec.org/atrf.aspx The financial cost of transport in Adelaide: estimation and interpretation Dr David Bray1 1Adjunct Associate Professor, University of Queensland Email for correspondence: [email protected] Abstract An estimate is made of the total financial cost of transport in Adelaide in around 2007 based on the value of depreciable transport assets at the time and taking account of their economic lives, the cost of capital and annual operating and maintenance costs. Costs are identified separately for each public transport mode, various classes of public roads, traffic policing and various categories of road vehicle. The results show that private investment in road vehicles is three times the value of depreciable public assets. Private expenditure on owning and operating vehicles accounts for an even greater 85% share of the total average annual $7.0 billion financial cost (in December 2006 prices) of sustaining road and public transport in Adelaide. Nonetheless, the total financial cost to the government of providing public transport and road assets and services was substantial, at $0.43 billion and $0.63 billion respectively per annum. An associated indicative analysis estimates the cost of providing public transport in Australian capital cities to be around $10 billion per annum. A little over half of this cost is for capital related costs and the remainder for operations. Average annual investment of $1.5 billion is needed to replace life expired public transport assets. 1. Introduction Considerable assets are involved in the provision of urban transport.

Overview Adelaide's transport action group People for Public Transport held its annual conference 'Missed Opportunities - New Possibilities' on Saturday 25 October 2003 at Balyana Conference Centre, Clapham, attracting some notable speakers and considerable interest. The next three pages present a brief overview of the event and highlights of the speakers' comments. The keynote speaker was Dr Paul Mees, a well known public transport advocate from Melbourne, where he teaches transport and land use planning in the urban planning program at the University of Melbourne. He was President of the Public Transport Users Association (Vic) from 1992 to 2001. (See separate panel page 42.) Dr Alan Perkins talked about the benefits of making railway stations centres for the community, with commercial and medium density housing clustered around the stations and noted places where this had not happened. He stressed the importance of urban design and security at stations. Dr Perkins' work has focused on the nexus of urban planning, transport, greenhouse impacts and sustainability, through research and policy development. He is Senior Transport Policy Analyst with the SA Department of Transport and Urban Planning. See below. Mr Roy Arnold, General Manager of TransAdelaide' talked about his vision for the future of Adelaide's suburban rail, including the new trams, to be introduced in 2005. This is summarised on page 42. Mr Nell Smith, General Manager of Swan Transit (Perth) and a director of Torrens Transit in Adelaide, has been deeply involved in the service reviews that have led to the reversal of long term patronage decline in both cities.
