Improving Transit in Stages Short-term (5 years) Phase 1 (2019) Address Core Area Highstreet City Centre Phase 2 Historic Downtown (2020-2024) Increase Service Levels UDistrict TRANSPORTATION & TRANSIT
Implementation Strategy • • Bourquin Exchange • Improve service Re-alignment of the Routes 1, 2 and 3 in phased out reliability and continue • Expand capacity at UFV year 1 to invest in the frequent • • Downtown hub gets Opening of new transit transit routes • Identify and develop a centre significant on-street • First phase of enhancements more comprehensive • New transit hub expansion to improve plan for the Rapid service reliability, introduced at Whatcom Transit Corridor and the improve service on key with associated service associated service corridors changes integration • • Increased connectivity at • Consider opportunities Introduction of Highstreet Transit hub Highstreet hub for LRT over long-term • Continued service reliability improvements, investments in core transit network, possible expansions to new service areas
Implementation Plan - Transit Long-Term: $10M* Short-Term • No additional resources in Y ear 1 with focus on realigning existing routes • Increased operating funding over short-term • Continue to increase service hours and funding over the medium- and long- term • Shelters and accessibility improvements (2 bus stops per year) * Costs in 2018 dollars TRANSPORTATION & TRANSIT
Financing Plan – Transit M edium-Term and Long-Term: • Increased funding for shelters and accessibility • Downtown hub (estimated $2M over short-term) • UFV, Highstreet and Whatcom exchanges ($1-2M each over medium-term) Downtown Hub $2,500,000 Other Exchanges $2,250,000 $2,000,000 $1,750,000 $1,500,000 $1,250,000 $1,000,000 $750,000 $500,000 $250,000 $0 Status Quo Incremental Increase Transit Hubs TRANSPORTATION & TRANSIT
