Consultation has concluded

The proposed transit improvements are an outcome of the RDN’s Transit Redevelopment Strategy, which is focused on developing a plan for improving the RDN’s conventional transit services over the next five years. The draft service and infrastructure proposals are based on analysis, best practices, and feedback heard from transit customers, staff and citizens in the project’s first round of engagement in summer 2021.

In keeping with the public’s top priorities for a more direct, frequent, and easy to use system, the draft proposals show how routes could be restructured and service and infrastructure added to better connect across

    SURVEY

    The proposed changes are summarized as follows:

    • Primary Routes that will become the system’s new Rapid and Frequent lines connecting the highest ridership destinations.
    • Neighbourhood and Connector Routes for the Central, South and North areas of the RDN that will connect local and interregional areas into the Primary Routes.
    • Priorities for improving transit infrastructure, such as improvements to stops and shelters as well as transit priority measures to make service fast and reliable.

    All of the transit route maps can be viewed by clicking on the links below. More information about each route is found in the survey.

Please take a few minutes and respond to the survey to share your thoughts on whether the proposed changes to the transit network will improve your connectivity to major destinations in the RDN and provide better and more frequent connections. If not, what changes do we need to consider to better accommodate your transit needs?

    The survey will be open to the public until Wednesday November 3.
