Developing an enhanced driver’s licence and new photo card identificationDuring 2013/14, DoT developed a more secure driver’s licence and new photo card with the same level of identification integrity. The new licence and photo card, which replaces the proof of age card as a superior form of photo identification, will be made available to Western Australians aged 16 years and older, from 1 July 2014. The photo card was developed in response to the challenge for non-drivers and those who do not hold a passport to be able to provide photographic identification to prove their identity. Both identification cards include international best-practice covert and overt security features to reduce the risk of fraud. Outcome three:Integrated transport systems that facilitate economic development
Service three:Strategic transport policy and integrated planning
Plans to keep WA movingAs the lead agency in the Transport portfolio for policy, planning and investment, DoT develops strategic transport policies and integrated transport plans to keep people and freight moving throughout Western Australia – now and into the future. During 2013/14, DoT progressed six transport plans of State significance to various stages, from development to implementation as shown below. These plans inform WA’s transport policy and infrastructure decisions over the next two decades to ensure metropolitan and regional networks meet expected demand and continue to grow the State’s economy. Following is further information on these plans and the initiatives being delivered under each; as well as other strategic policy, planning and infrastructure projects for integrated transport systems that facilitate economic development. Finalising the Public Transport Plan for Perth and PeelIn 2013/14, DoT continued to refine In Motion: A Public Transport Plan for Perth and Peel for submission to the State Government for consideration. Refinements were made to ensure that the plan took into account other relevant transport and urban planning strategies, as well as updated forecasts for patronage demand and government commitments. The final plan provides a vision for the greater metropolitan public transport network and clearly outlines the infrastructure projects required. The infrastructure will be delivered in two stages. Stage one details relatively short-term projects that will be required within the next decade to transform travel patterns and meet demand. With the population expected to reach 2.7 million by 2031, stage two projects include necessary expansions to the network to meet the needs of a busy city in a sustainable way. Work has already begun across the Transport portfolio on a number of stage one projects, including: implementing priority projects identified in the Bus Priority Program, such as the newly-completed bus lanes on Beaufort and William streets; extending the Joondalup Line from Clarkson to Butler, scheduled for completion in September 2014; constructing a new underground bus station as part of the Perth City Link project, scheduled for completion in 2016; planning and development of the Forrestfield–Airport Link project; and planning and development of the first stage of the MAX Light Rail project. DoT, together with portfolio partners the PTA and MRWA, will continue to progress these projects in 2014-15 and beyond.
