EXTENDING RAPID TRANSIT TO THE NORTH OPTION 1The key strategic investment proposed for the north Auckland growth areas is an extension of the current Rapid Transit Network (RTN) from Albany. Building on the successful uptake of the current RTN is vital to support the large population numbers projected to live in the new growth areas. The RTN provides fast, frequent, high capacity public transport services along corridors that are separated from general traffic and therefore unaffected by road congestion.There are two main options being considered for an extension of the current rapid transit network from Albany.

• Has the potential to access a future centre in Dairy Flat that is near SH1

• Provides more direct access to existing urban areas and the areas of early future urban growth in Wainui East and Silverdale West (compared to Option 2)

• Provides access to options for high frequency bus routes to support the Rapid Transit Network (pink lines)

• Has fewer opportunities to serve future planned development and the shape of urban form in Dairy Flat (compared to Option 2).
