Station
Executive Summary
TfNSW will provide background on the implementation of
Park&Ride at railway stations across Sydney to date and the proposed
implementation of Park&Ride at Penrith railway station.
Background
Transport Park&Ride
is designed to free-up more spaces at commuter car parks for those who want to
travel on public transport.
Current Situation
Park&Ride has, to date, been implemented at 11 railway
stations across the Sydney network including Seven Hills, Ashfield, Brookvale,
Dee Why, Manly Vale, Mona Vale, Gordon, Kogarah and Kiama.
Transport Park&Ride
provides up to 18 hours free parking each day. All commuters have to do is
complete a public transport journey by tapping on and off using an accepted
Opal card, then use that Opal card when they exit the car park. The
Park&Ride uses number plate recognition technology.
Located close to public
transport hubs, Park&Ride car parks helps them connect more easily to bus,
train and ferry services.
Transport for NSW are
currently trialing real-time parking availability, allowing
commuters to see how many vacant car parking spaces are available at select
Transport Park&Ride car parks.
RECOMMENDATION
That the information contained in the report on Park &
Ride at Penrith Railway Station be received.
