'ARTA' ('Auckland Regional Transport Authority') is the public transport organization of Auckland, New Zealand. It was established in 2004 to help find and fund solutions to the traffic challenges facing the rapidly growing Auckland region. ARTA is under the umbrella of the Auckland Regional Council (ARC), and about half of the ARC's rates go to fund public transport via ARTA.[1] ARTA co-ordinates public transport under the MAXX brand.
ONTRACK is currently undertaking Project DART (Developing Auckland's Rail Transport network) in association with ARTA to upgrade Auckland's rail network, signalling and train station platforms and buildings. The budget for the project is $600 million[2], and includes:
★ Double-tracking the Western line as far as Swanson;
★ Redeveloping Newmarket station and the associated junction;
★ Improving signalling on all routes to allow more frequent services
★ Linking Manukau City centre to the rail network.
★ Reopening the Onehunga Branch line[3]
On 13 March 2007 the Government announced that it had given approval to ONTRACK to spend $10 million reopening the Onehunga branch for passengers and freight. There are proposals to extend the line south to Auckland International Airport and north from Southdown to Avondale.
There have also been proposals to extend commuter rail services to Kumeu and Helensville on the North Auckland Line in the west, and to Hamilton on the North Island Main Trunk line in the south.
Services are likely to start running to Manukau City centre in 2010 when a branch line to be built from Wiri is completed in conjunction with the State Highway 20 Manukau motorway extension project.
