BLUE ABSTRACT IMAGE Gladys Berejiklian Minister for Transport What does it mean? Putting the customer at the centre of everything we do means fundamentally changing the way transport is planned and delivered in NSW. It means engaging with customers to understand what they value about transport, understanding what they want to see improve and how we can better meet their needs and expectations across all aspects of the transport system. Who are our customers? Our customers are those who derive a direct benefit from using the transport system and the services we offer. There are very few people in NSW that are not our customers; most of us are pedestrians and many of us rely on the road and public transport networks in our daily lives. Our focus is on providing the greatest social and economic benefit for the whole of NSW, and we achieve this most effectively by providing the greatest value for our customers. For example, by understanding the needs of our freight customers and working with them to ensure that goods can move efficiently through supply chains, we are helping to support the economic development of our State and enabling goods to be available at reasonable prices for the community and end consumers. 22 CORPORATE PLAN 2012–2017 TRANSPORT FOR NSW 23 What about the rest of the community? How do customers ‘experience’ transport? Everyone in our community benefits from the transport system, directly or indirectly, and the perceptions The customer experience or ‘take-home value’ of the transport system is made up of two core elements. of the entire community towards transport are very important. The community expects our agency Firstly, there is a functional benefit we deliver in helping move people and goods between origin and to provide services that create value for our customers, as well as operate our business in a just, fair, destination. Secondly, there is the experience of the journey itself, which stimulates an emotional efficient and effective manner. response. Overall this produces a level of satisfaction that we aim to improve over time. In the same way that a private company needs to satisfy its direct customers and its investors, Transport Transport for NSW directly manages many elements that influence customers’ experience, such as the for NSW is accountable to our customers, as well as those that provide us with resources and the authority infrastructure and the services that we provide. Others are managed indirectly and can be influenced to provide results on their behalf (the NSW community and the NSW Government that represents them). more by the outside world, for example the behaviours of other passengers or road users. Are colleagues and business partners our customers? Most of us who work in transport use the transport system on a daily basis; when we use the system we The customer experience framework shows the key dimensions that shape the way customers experience transport. We need to understand customers’ needs, interests and expectations in each of these dimensions, and use these insights in our planning and in the delivery of services. are its customers. At work we are not necessarily each others’ customers in a business sense, however our daily interactions with each other are built on similar principles to good customer service. Our relationships with business partners and intermediaries are also very important, as they are often the people and organisations that deliver services directly to our customers. Customer experience framework OPERATIONS Our organisational values are customer focus, safety, integrity, collaboration and solutions. These values underpin the way that we work with each other and interact with business partners and colleagues. Our INFRASTRUCTURE SERVICES agency will be most effective at meeting the needs of our customers by relying on our values to guide the way we work. How do we work with stakeholders and representative groups? There are many groups that have an interest in transport and in what our agency does. These can be The Customer Experience RULES OF ENGAGEMENT TAKE HOME VALUE PRICING, PURCHASE AND PAYMENT • Functional Benefits (getting from A to B) groups that we consult and collaborate with on particular policy issues or projects, including other government agencies, advisory boards and committees, peak industry bodies and associations, • Emotional Response (the journey experience) advocacy groups and non-government organisations. While these groups are our stakeholders rather than customers, it is important to understand they may represent particular customer views or interests. Putting the customer at the centre of everything means working with these stakeholders and representative groups to provide quality transport INTERACTIONS WITH OTHER USERS COMMUNICATIONS AND BRANDING outcomes for our customers with the support of the broader community. 24 CORPORATE PLAN 2012–2017 TRANSPORT FOR NSW 25 Customer Value Proposition: NSW Bus Services How can we meet the diverse needs of our customers? Different customers place emphasis on different elements of the transport system. In order to better understand their diverse needs and expectations, we segment customers into groups that share similar attributes. This allows us to tailor services and prioritise investments based on what satisfies most customers, and what satisfies customers most. Delivering customer-focused transport begins with understanding the service attributes that customers consider most important, what delivers value for customers and their level of satisfaction with each element of the current product package. The insights we generate reveal the key drivers underpinning our customers’ patronage, loyalty and advocacy of our services. A Customer Value Proposition (CVP) summarises what our customers value most about our products and services. CVPs have been completed for several modes of transport, and using these and other market research we are able For example, our research shows that customers who travel on buses generally fall into one of four segments to gain insight into current and potential customers’ needs, preferences and priorities, and focus on improving the based on what they value most: time, systems and efficiency, reassurance or comfort elements of the service. things that matter most. By carefully analysing the elements of our product package that are most valued by customers in each of these segments, we are able to better design and deliver our services around those customers’ needs. The Bus Services CVP below is an example of how market research reveals the components that our customers value about transport services: It’s important to recognise that in our business there will always be constraints and trade-offs, and competing VALUE PROPOSITION demands from different types of customers. For example, the Sydney metropolitan rail network services both They place above average importance on: freight and passenger customers who may have different interests and needs based on many factors. While we are fundamentally changing the way transport is delivered, and enhancing the value we provide, we must also ensure our customers and the community are well-informed about the challenges that we face in managing a complex transport system. We will develop an evidence base of customer I value getting from the start to the end of my journey on time and in the shortest possible time without waiting Transport for NSW will put customers at the centre of everything by listening to them, analysing and • More frequent buses / reduced waiting time 34% • Buses always have room to take on passengers interests of the community, considering these perspectives in our decisions and actions.

We will measure our performance internally as well as asking customers to rate our performance to ensure we are meeting our commitments to them. Monitoring and measurement of key attributes that I value feeling safe while waiting for the bus to arrive, having a bus driver that is friendly to me and a bus that I can easily get on and off REASSURANCE • Special needs access • Friendly and helpful drivers 21% • Safe and well lit bus shelters customers value most will be used as a means of driving service improvements in the areas that count. We use our performance results and customer feedback to refine our insights and intelligence and to continually improve our services. Putting the customer at the centre of everything we do is a way of working and an ongoing focus for Transport for NSW. 26 CORPORATE PLAN 2012–2017 I value a bus journey where I can sit down and where the temperature level is moderated based on the season COMFORT • Effective air con and heating • Always being able to get a seat • Bus seats with greater leg room 17% THE TRANSPORT BLUE ABSTRACT IMAGE TASK Our task is to make the transport system work better now and anticipate how our society will change in the future, to ensure the transport system continues to provide benefits for our customers and supports the social and economic needs of our State.

Improvements in transport can have remarkable benefits for our cities and regions. 28 CORPORATE PLAN 2012–2017 The trends described in this section provide the context for some of the key challenges we will need to proactively manage over the next five years and beyond. TRANSPORT FOR NSW 29 Customers’ diverse and changing travel needs Planning for changes in population and employment Changes in customer lifestyles can change the way transport systems are used, meaning that travel Urban population and employment growth are key drivers in demand for travel. By 2031 the behaviour and patterns will vary over time and across different regions in NSW. Customers living in rural and population of NSW will be approaching nine million people and Sydney’s population will be about regional NSW, for example, require a very different transport experience to those customers living in Sydney; six million. This will have major implications for how we plan and deliver transport. our customers in the freight industry have different needs to customers such as cyclists and pedestrians. Our challenge is to adapt to these changing needs and expectations by using information, intelligence We need to shape the way our cities and regional centres evolve to support this population growth, to ensure the quality of life and prosperity of future generations. and insights in our decision making. This will enable us to differentiate our services across modes and locations, and for different customers. Population change in NSW and Sydney 2012-31 Our roads, waterways and public transport networks will need to work as one connected system to provide the best services and adapt to emerging social trends, including more flexible working patterns and the growing diversity in recreational and entertainment activities.

Providing access to specialised health and other support services in rural and regional NSW will also be an ongoing challenge. In Sydney alone, 530,000 new jobs are expected by 2031. Significant growth in employment will occur in Western Sydney, with Parramatta growing in importance as a services centre. An additional 100,000 jobs are expected in the Global Economic Corridor that runs from Macquarie Park through Sydney CBD to Sydney Airport, and employment in regional cities and other major centres is forecast to increase by 25 per cent by 2031. Greater integration of transport services as well as diversified transport options will be critical to meeting our customers’ changing commuting needs across NSW. 30 CORPORATE PLAN 2012–2017 TRANSPORT FOR NSW 31 Freight, economic development and regional NSW Our ports and key freight precincts will also need to cater for growth, particularly through the expected The efficient movement of goods is an essential driver of economic prosperity and quality of life in our metropolitan and regional communities. The NSW freight and logistics industry contributes more than $50 billion to our Gross State Product. NSW roads, rail network, intermodal terminals and ports are some of the most important pieces of infrastructure to enable domestic and international freight movements and support economic development. increase in air freight at Sydney Airport, and the containerised freight task through Port Botany. The airport and Port Botany are our key international gateways, while our regional ports are some of the largest exporters of raw materials in the world. Servicing these locations with efficient and reliable connections to all parts of NSW is critical to supporting economic development. Energy management and environmental sustainability The freight task in NSW will increase dramatically in the coming decades on the back of a growing population and increased consumer demand. The rail share of the freight task needs to increase on both the metropolitan and regional networks to manage this growth, supplemented by greater freight capacity on our roads as the vital links in logistics chains. Our challenge will be to provide appropriate levels of investment into both rail and road freight capacity in the right locations to cater for this growth. An ongoing challenge for our agency is ensuring that transport meets our current social and economic needs, without compromising the ability for future generations to do the same. We have a responsibility to ensure that the transport system is delivered and operated in an environmentally sustainable manner. In the coming decades some of our key environmental challenges will include energy prices and the uncertainty of oil reserves globally to support future demand. The availability of energy sources is a vital Forecast average weekday road freight trips in Greater Metropolitan Sydney 2011-31 demand and pricing. We will also need to contribute to the overall response to climate change by supporting sustainable 2,000,000 Number of vehicle trips consideration in our long-term transport modelling because of the potential impact on fuel use, travel travel options, helping to contain urban growth and reducing emissions and pollution. 1,600,000 Congestion management 1,200,000 Transport inefficiencies and the cost of congestion are significant factors constraining the State’s national competitiveness and productivity. The cost of urban traffic congestion in Sydney is expected 800,000 to increase to around $8 billion by 2020, including costs associated with longer and more unreliable travel times, decreased productivity, higher vehicle and fuel costs and poorer air quality. There are also 400,000 congestion issues that need to be addressed in specific locations, such as the limitations on road and rail freight movements in the Port Botany area. 0 2011 2016 2021 2026 2031 An efficient road network is central to the smooth operation of the total transport system. To increase traffic flow and reduce the cost of congestion we need to look at ways to optimise our existing road Articulated vehicles Rigid vehicles Heavy vehicles (HV)= articulated + rigid Light commercial vehicles network, through a range of technological and operating measures as well as through policy and pricing mechanisms. We need to utilise road capacity where it is available and deliver capacity enhancements Source: Bureau of Transport Statistics 2010 32 CORPORATE PLAN 2012–2017 where appropriate. TRANSPORT FOR NSW 33 We also need to look at ways to influence the demand for travel across different modes of transport. Financing is particularly important in the context of maintaining current transport assets. In 2012/13, Allocating road space to buses and light rail, and making public transport travel more attractive are approximately two-thirds of the annual transport budget will be invested in ongoing operations and options that will help reduce the need to use private vehicles. Offering priority to vehicles that carry more network maintenance.

There are varied approaches to financing transport around the world, including different pricing mechanisms across modes; public-private partnerships and other industry-specific investment Financing and maintenance contributions; appropriations and consolidation of revenue; and different grants and loans options. NSW Government investment in transport needs to be balanced with other important services such as We will need to make some difficult decisions as to the mix of financing approaches that are health and education. NSW also has to compete with other states and territories for access to Federal economically sustainable and equitable across NSW into the future. funding. In this context we need to develop innovative and sustainable ways of financing transport, Any potential future approaches to financing must identify the sources of the funding and the proposed in order to provide an appropriate level of investment to maintain our network and deliver long-term level of investment, demonstrate how that investment will contribute to better travel outcomes for our improvements across all modes. customers, and why the investment represents the best use of taxpayer resources. Organisational capability and integration Indicative annual expenditure by mode ($B) (based on 2012-13 total forecast expenditure of $13.24 billion) Transport for NSW has a diverse workforce, with experts working across a range of multi-disciplinary areas.

We undertake rigorous planning, set and our partners in government and industry, and implement strategy, and measure our performance continually improving in all aspects of our work. to ensure that we stay on track and make the best 50 CORPORATE PLAN 2012–2017 TRANSPORT FOR NSW 51 Our people Like any organisation we are only as good as the people we engage to do our work. As a new organisation Integrated planning framework Transport for NSW has attracted the right mix of people to really make a difference. Our people have a rich diversity of skills, experience and perspective; we come from many different backgrounds, GOVERNMENT PRIORITIES both from within the transport sector and from other roles and organisations. Harnessing and valuing this TfNSW Legislation diversity is critical to the success of our agency and the performance of the transport system. Our people have Commonwealth priorities e.g. COAG* and Infrastructure Australia NSW 2021 been involved in developing our values, working on our business model and giving their insight into how we can put the customer at the centre of everything we do. To achieve our purpose we need to build on our momentum in establishing the structures of Transport for NSW, and develop our individual and collective capability and a shared culture that is focused on performance and solutions. We need to invest in the skills of our staff and help them to reach their full potential. LONG TERM STRATEGIC PLANNING Long Term Transport Master Plan Freight and Ports Strategy Metropolitan and regional land use strategies Modal strategies and regional plans The way we work with our partners in government and industry is also very important. We will continue to develop strong relationships with central agencies such as NSW Treasury and the Department of Premier and Cabinet, with other planning and infrastructure agencies like the Department of Planning, Infrastructure NSW and CORPORATE PLANNING AND RESOURCE ALLOCATION Infrastructure Australia, and local councils throughout NSW. Only by working in genuinely collaborative ways will we be able to deliver services and infrastructure that better meet the needs and expectations of our customers. TfNSW Corporate Plan (5 years) Results and Services Plan (1+4 years) Total Asset Management (10 years) Integrated planning Delivering our vision for transport requires a shared understanding of what we are here to achieve, and how we intend to achieve it. It requires our agency and service partners to work together towards the same shared OPERATIONAL AND SERVICE PLANNING outcomes for the NSW community and having processes in place that help us stay on track. We achieve this through an aligned and integrated approach to planning. An integrated planning approach allows Business plans Operating Agency corporate plans Service agreements (Contracts, MOUs^, Statements of Intent) Senior Service performance reviews (Management) Individual performance reviews (Staff) Corporate controls (Transport wide policies, CE performance reviews) for government priorities, broader land-use planning and infrastructure priorities, and organisational strategies to cascade through to internal plans and performance management systems. This ensures that resources are allocated appropriately to achieve our goals and objectives and that we monitor their delivery progress. The high-level strategies and plans such as NSW 2021, this Corporate Plan, the Long Term Transport Master Plan, and other national agendas are all captured in more detailed business planning that takes place within INDIVIDUAL ACCOUNTABILITY our agency. Risk management practises are also embedded in our business planning processes, and reported as part of our performance management systems. The integrated planning framework shows the alignment between key plans and our individual performance *Council of Australian Governments ^Memorandum of Understanding reviews and how our personal development and capability is linked to government and agency goals. 52 CORPORATE PLAN 2012–2017 TRANSPORT FOR NSW 53 Performance measurement and monitoring Performance Cycle Transport for NSW is a performance focused organisation, where individuals and teams are accountable The performance cycle diagram shows the key elements of our ongoing planning and performance systems. for delivering on outcomes. We measure performance at all levels of our agency, based on how effectively we contribute to what we are here to deliver for customers and the community. Enhancing our performance measurement capability is an ongoing priority for our agency. While many performance indicators are already measured and monitored, including the targets outlined in NSW 2021, we will continue to develop ways of demonstrating the achievement of outcomes and strategies in our performance frameworks. The performance of our service providers is also important to us, not only because we provide funding, PLAN COMMIT • Purpose and values • Direction setting • Resource allocation decision making • Senior Service and individual performance reviews • Business plans • Budget Papers T but because often they are responsible for service interactions with our customers. Statements of Expectations, Statements of Intent and service contracts are some of the mechanisms used to drive performance with our service providers and to make sure we are all working together. We measure the performance of our service providers according to the transactional elements of service contracts as well as their contribution to our organisational outcomes. An integrated performance reporting structure provides comprehensive information on cluster-wide T performance to support government objectives in integrated planning, strategic decision making and T resource allocation. Our formal performance management tools include: NSW 2021 Performance Reports – a report to Cabinet of the transport cluster’s contribution to achieving the goals of NSW 2021. of high-level corporate performance indicators. Director General performance meetings – regular forums between the Director General and each member of the Executive and their respective senior management team to discuss the performance of each division against agreed strategies, initiatives and risk mitigation activities. Individual performance reviews – a formal agreement between the Director General and each member of the Executive that defines their responsibilities and deliverables. The actions outlined in these reviews are delivered through the business planning process. Performance reviews also reflect the personal contribution of individuals to the organisation achieving its goals. 54 CORPORATE PLAN 2012–2017 REVIEW • Mid and full year performance reports • Mid and full year business plan reports • TfNSW Annual Report T Executive Dashboard Reporting System – a regular report to the Executive on the status of a range MONITOR AND ACT • Regular performance meetings • NSW 2021 reporting • Business planning process BLUE ABSTRACT IMAGE NSW 2021 NSW 2021 clearly establishes the Government’s focus in delivering an integrated, customer-focused transport system and provides our agency with guidance in delivering on these priorities.

TRANSPORT FOR NSW 61 Corporate Framework Alignment The Results in our Corporate Framework are an expression of what we deliver to achieve our purpose. The table below shows the alignment between our Results and the themes and strategies in this Corporate Plan. They reflect the fact that our customers are at the centre of everything we do. It expresses the level of impact that our work will have on the outcomes we deliver for the people of NSW. Customer Travel Asset Access What it means Themes Strategies The customer is at the centre of everything we do. To achieve this Result we need to ensure that the rest of our Results as well as the transport system itself are aligned to what our customers expect from transport. 1.1 Deliver evidence-based transport plans that shape the future of the whole transport system The door-to-door movement of people and goods is efficient and reliable. Transport is about the reliable movement of people and goods from one location to another. This Result is about minimising travel time for as many people and goods as possible. We do this by providing infrastructure, operating services, and supporting the productive use of the transport system for both social and economic benefits. 1. Planning and financing the transport system of the future 2. Maintaining transport assets 2.1 Maintain the condition and long-term value of assets to deliver our desired service standards Transport infrastructure meets acceptable standards. Well maintained assets have implications for the safety, reliability and customer perceptions of the transport system. This Result relies on the management of the balance between the wear and tear associated with the use of assets and the ongoing effort to maintain them. We protect the condition and long-term value of assets, as well as determining the assets we need to meet future demand. The accessibility of transport is aligned to the needs of the community and the economy. We promote a transport system that meets our present social and economic needs without compromising the quality of life of future generations. An important part of this is minimising the impact of transport on our natural environment now, and into the future. The safety and security of the transport system is maximised. This Result covers the safety of the road network, public transport and waterways. The Result is broader than just the safety of transport; it is also about the security of the transport system. Effective governance is in place to deliver our Results. This Result captures a range of outcomes that describe what we aim to achieve in terms of how we do business. This outcome drives good business practices relating to the transport cluster, its workforce, financial management and the safety of those working in transport.
