Public Transport Authority—Control centre
16. Hon Sophia Moermond to the parliamentary secretary representing the Minister for Transport:
I refer to the new purpose-built public transport operations control centre building in East Perth.
(1) What is the expected FTE of this centre?
(2) What is the projected long-term benefit of this control centre in terms of reducing service disruptions and improving passenger safety?
Hon Samantha Rowe replied:
I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question and provide the following answer on behalf of the Minister for Transport.
(1)–(2) Public Transport Authority staff from the existing network control centre and CCTV central monitoring room will soon relocate to the new public transport operations control centre. Combining these functions into a single control centre and the centre's additional capacity will mean the PTA can introduce new supporting functions, all of which will benefit the overall performance of the network and passenger safety.
