75% of hospital car parks are used by staff causing congestion for our site as patients and family wait is traffic cues. September 22nd is World Car free Day, an initiative the sustainable transport project is right behind!
STP workshops
The sustainable Transport work stream, championed by project managers Phil Schulze and Ian D'Young and run in collaboration with the DHW lab; recently held three workshops with staff and the public. The workshops were set up as forum for discussing ways of improving transport to and from the hospital campus, with a special focus on public transport options.The three workshops have been full, and has been a great opportunity for the sustainable transport project to understand the stories of our people travelling to and from the campus.

Sustainable Transport and Urban Design Seminar
On Wednesday 22nd of April a Sustainable Transport and Urban Design Seminar was held inside Auckland Hospital’s Clinical Education Centre (CEC) in connection with the Design for Health and Wellbeing (DHW) Lab.
The seminar included a presentation by award winning author and urban design expert Charles Montgomery from Vancouver. He gave an outstanding talk about future of city planning and how that affects our health as a community.
The current third year design brief at the AUT product design school has also been dealing with the transport context in relation to Auckland hospital in association with the Design for Health and Wellbeing Lab. The students were asked to develop design interventions to enhance walking, cycling, and public transport use in the area covering Grafton Station, the Auckland Domain and Auckland Hospital, and presented their concepts to representatives from the DHW Lab and Auckland Transport and Charles Montgomery on the day. A second student brief was also on display during the event from the AUT spatial design School, and explored the connections between a 'front door' to the hospital and the wider community.
Sustainable Transport
The feedback received from the Public Spaces project developed a strong theme around transport issues to and from the hospital. This work stream is being run through the performance improvement team, with support provided by the DHW lab. Take a look at this infographic developed in-house, explaining the depth and scale of the project.
