Users wishing to obtain information from the databases should contact the Data Management Group or one of the following agencies: Ministry of Transportation, Ontario GO Transit Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto Toronto Transit Commission Regional Municipality of Durham Regional Municipality of Halton Regional Municipality of Hamilton-Wentworth Regional Municipality of Waterloo Regional Municipality of Niagara Regional Municipality of Peel Regional Municipality of York Town of Orangeville Peterborough County Simcoe County Victoria County Wellington County City of Barrie City of Guelph City of Peterborough Users should be aware of the differences in both the content and the areas covered by the survey in each of the three years. This guide is a compilation of information from the original dataguides for the 1986 (Version 3.1) and 1991 (Version 4.1) databases with comparable information for the 1996 survey (Version 2.1). The TTS databases contain the following number of survey records: Exhibit 1: TTS Databases Number of Records 1986 (Version 3.1) 1991 (Version 4.1) 1996 (Version 2.1) Household 61,453 24,507 115,193 Person 171,086 72,496 312,781 Non Transit Trips 313,633 142,453 587,676 Transit Trips 56,615 14,896 70,295 1 Differences Between the 1986, 1991 and 1996 Data Users of TTS data should be aware of the following differences when making comparisons between the 1986, 1991 and 1996 Transportation Tomorrow Surveys: 1. Survey Area The 1986 survey covered the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) defined as the Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto plus the Regional Municipalities of Durham, York, Peel, Halton and Hamilton-Wentworth. In 1991 the survey area was expanded to cover the municipalities adjacent to the GTA boundary, referred to as the ‘fringe area’. Extending well beyond the boundaries of either of the earlier surveys, the 1996 survey includes all of the GTA plus Peterborough County (partial coverage), City of Peterborough, Victoria County, Town of Orangeville, Simcoe County, City of Barrie, Wellington County (partial coverage), City of Guelph, Waterloo Region and Niagara Region. A small portion of Dufferin County adjacent to the town of Orangeville is also included. Northumberland County is partially represented by interviews conducted during the training of interviewers (week 0). 2. Minimum Age In 1986 the minimum age of persons for which trip data was collected was 6. In 1991 and 1996 the minimum age was

  • Public Transit Operations Review – the Route Ahead Executive Summary October 2012
    City of Peterborough Peterborough Public Transit Operations Review – The Route Ahead Executive Summary October 2012 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The City of Peterborough has a strong history of supporting public transit services for all members of the community. Over the past decade ridership has grown by 62 percent on conventional services and with a current mode share of 4.5 percent, the City is on target to achieve its goal of having 6 percent of all trips within Peterborough to be on public transit by 2021. The Dillon Consulting team was engaged by the City to conduct an operational review of current conventional and Handi-Van services and provide advice on strategies to improve efficiency, increase ridership and ensure that all residents and visitors have effective transit access to employment, school, shopping, services, recreation and cultural activities within the community. There are many positive aspects to the current transit services and in a comparison with a peer group of Ontario municipalities, the performance of Peterborough Transit ranks high. The revenue/cost (R/C) ratio is 49 percent, transit ridership per capita is 37.92 and the average number of boardings per revenue vehicle hour is 29.23. This suggests a system that is meeting financial performance targets and is effective in capturing a reasonable share of the travel market. Service innovations include the use of TransCab for areas of low demand, employment specials, and express services to post-secondary institutions. The City has developed an effective partnership with the Student Association at Trent University which has resulted in a strong base of transit customers and transit service levels which benefit the entire community.

This report, and the majority of research included within it, was completed primarily between September 2019 and March 2020 – prior to the novel coronavirus pandemic affecting local economies and transit revenue across Canada. While efforts have been made to include relevant announcements by Canadian transit agencies since that time, specifically as they relate to electric buses, many investment decisions and funding programs related to municipal green infrastructure deployments may change this year as a result of the financial crisis unfolding in cities across the country.
