Project History
The review will ultimately determine how public transit may better meet the short-term and longer-term needs of the community including opportunities for transit service connections to the RT’s light rail service.
The project includes:
- A review of transit service needs and requirements and development of service improvement options to best meet the mobility needs of residents and visitors of the City;
- A review of current transit policies and procedures; and
- The development of an Action Plan to guide the implementation of transit service improvements over the next 5 to 10+ year period.

- The role of e-tran public transit in: (a) meeting the transport/mobility requirements of residents, visitors, employees, and others and (b) Light rail transit connectivity/enhanced commuter trips
