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.

  • TRAM ROUTE 86 CORRIDOR IMPROVEMENT PROJECT COMMUNITY REFERENCE GROUP – WESTGARTH Recommendation Report
    TRAM ROUTE 86 CORRIDOR IMPROVEMENT PROJECT COMMUNITY REFERENCE GROUP – WESTGARTH Recommendation Report Background The Westgarth Community Reference Group for the Tram Route 86 Corridor Improvement Project was convened by Council to provide community input into the re-work of the Project. Seven nominees were selected by Council for the group and six members participated throughout the four meetings which were scheduled fortnightly over July/August 2009. This Report contains a summary of the discussions and debates that were held between group members over the four meetings. The Notes of each meeting are presented in Appendix 1. The Report is divided into sections; 1. The Recommendations 2. Other Considerations 3. Appendices The group wishes to record again its strong opposition to any proposals that result in the creation of any form of sliplane which has the effect of bringing High Street traffic in closer proximity to those houses located on High Street south of Westgarth Street. Council should be aware that in the course of this process an option was presented to the Reference Group and was seen as a breach of Council’s prior undertakings that a sliplane would not form part of any future considerations. The Recommendations In the first two meetings the group discussed the issues that were raised with the initial proposal for the Westgarth section. These included: Impact on businesses Improved public transport & Pedestrian Access vs Vehicle Access Disability Access and Safety (40km/h) Resident Amenity vs Public transport access Ruckers

  • Growing Patronage - Think Tram?
    GROWING PATRONAGE - THINK TRAM? Dennis Cliche Sam Reid ABSTRACT The emerging congestion crisis in Melbourne is underlined by Melbourne City Council’s recent prediction that visitation to the CBD will increase from current levels of around 690,000 people to one million people per day by 2017. Public transport has been identified as one of the keys to solving the demands of travel to and from the city, and to reducing the impact of traffic congestion. This has created a number of challenges for shaping patronage growth on Melbourne’s public transport network, and for making trams a competitive travel option for commuters - especially when a large proportion of the tram network shares road space with other vehicles and is caught in the congestion. The challenge of growing patronage on public transport not only requires incentives for behavioural change amongst commuters, but also for improvements to the level of service offered through tram speeds and frequency, and better access for mobility impaired passengers. This can be achieved through a program of service and infrastructure investments and by appealing to a concern for wider social responsibility (minimising the impact of car pollution, reducing congestion etc). Indeed, if public transport is to successfully address the broader issues of traffic congestion and city pollution, then it must provide the impetus for commuters to rethink their travel behaviours and create a modal shift. This paper will examine Yarra Trams’ approach to growing patronage on a tram system that shares its road space with other vehicles, and also discuss how the Think Tram program provides the foundation and the infrastructure to grow patronage by offering a service that delivers opportunities for a more consistent, accessible and efficient alternative to car travel.

  • Improving Disabled Access to the Tram System in Melbourne, Victoria
    GFS-0812 Improving Disabled Access to the Tram System in Melbourne, Victoria An Interactive Qualifying Project submitted to the Department of Infrastructure and the Faculty of Worcester Polytechnic Institute in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science by ____________________________________________ Alexander Christakis ____________________________________________ Katie Flynn ____________________________________________ Jennifer Himottu 28 April 2007 ____________________________________________ Professor Holly Ault, Advisor ____________________________________________ Professor Guillermo Salazar, Advisor This report represents the work of three WPI undergraduate students submitted to the faculty as evidence of completion of a degree requirement. WPI routinely publishes these reports on its web site without editorial or peer review. Abstract This project assisted the Department of Infrastructure of the Victorian government in improving the accessibility of the tram system for disabled passengers in Melbourne, Australia. A systematic rating system for assessing future stops to upgrade to conform to accessibility standards was proposed and applied to three target routes. Criteria were defined by reviewing the current state of accessibility and interviewing stakeholders. The proposed approach will help to effectively focus project effort and funding to critical areas in the future. ii Acknowledgements This project was a great undertaking and the first time WPI was able to work with the DOI of the state of Victoria. Therefore, we would like to thank the several people that helped and encouraged us throughout our project and made our stay in Melbourne even more enjoyable. We would first like to thank our project liaison Dr. Jim North, also known to us as ―Doctor‖, ―Professor‖, ―Gunslinger‖, ―The Scotsman‖ and ―Boss Jim.‖ He went above and beyond his duties as project liaison and drilled into our heads the idea of ―Scottish Rules.‖ All the information we needed, as long as we asked, we received.

  • MCT) and Light Rail Plan
    DRAFT 59 Rail Futures Inc THE MELBOURNE RAIL PLAN Moving People in a City of 8 Million 25 May 2019 This paper has been prepared by Rail Futures Incorporated in the public interest. Rail Futures Inc is an independent non-partisan group formed to advocate cost effective rail and intermodal solutions for public transport and freight problems based on sound commercial, economic and social reasoning. Rail Futures members include experienced rail professionals, engineers, planners and economists. Melbourne Rail Plan 2019-2050, May 2019 Version 59 - DRAFT FOR COMMENT Rail Futures Institute 1 Foreword Melbourne once had one of the world’s best public transport systems. The forethought and planning of Victorians more than a century ago, and their capacity to value the welfare of Victorians of the future -us - as highly as their own, helped make Melbourne one of the world’s economically most productive and liveable cities. For the past few generations, myopia, carelessness and excessive valuation of the present over the future have been squandering that wonderful legacy. The economic and social life of this city will be deeply impaired by barriers to movement of people around the city unless chronic underinvestment over recent generations is remedied. The Melbourne Rail Plan 2019-50 demonstrates the way to correct the mistakes of recent generations, and that some contemporary Victorians are up to the challenge. The Report is comprehensive, creative and authoritative. It is an excellent foundation for rebuilding Melbourne to secure its position as one of the world’s most successful cities. Melbourne is growing more rapidly than any other large city in the developed world.
