WHAT IS THE SURREY WHO SPONSORED THE STUDY? RAPID TRANSIT STUDY? TransLink and the Province of Launched in 2010, the study reviewed sponsored the study, in partnership with the alternatives for rapid transit service in Surrey City of Surrey, City of Langley, and Metro and surrounding communities. .

WHAT WERE THE STUDY’S GOALS?

The study aimed to identify rapid transit alternatives that meet three goals:

SHAPE TRAVEL DEMAND SHAPE LAND USE RAISE TRANSIT RIDERSHIP, LOWER EMISSIONS Meet, shift and help shape travel Shape future land use in keeping demand through improved with the Regional Growth Help achieve mode share and transit service quality. Strategy and municipal plans. emissions targets.

HOW MANY TECHNOLOGIES AND ROUTE OPTIONS DID WE CONSIDER? 3

technologies TRANSIT RAIL RAPID TRANSIT (SKYTRAIN) examined 1000+ 13 4

route and technology alternatives alternative identied combinations initially considered evaluated in detail for three corridors

HOW DID WE EVALUATE THE OPTIONS?

Each alternative was evaluated on seven accounts for benefits and impacts:

ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT FINANCIAL SOCIAL & TRANSPORTATION DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY

detailed measures considered + (e.g. GHG emissions, 90 construction eects) DELIVERABILITY URBAN DEVELOPMENT

PUBLIC CONSULTATION BY THE NUMBERS 970 230 20+ questionnaires workshop public events & completed attendees meetings held

WHAT ALTERNATIVES DID WE IDENTIFY?

These alternatives best address the study goals, and are highlighted for further consideration.

Now that the study has identified four alternatives for consideration in Surrey, it’s up to the region to consider trade-os What are and competing regional investment priorities, and decide on what level of rapid transit investment the region should make.

the next TransLink will facilitate this discussion through the Regional Transportation Strategy process in 2013, which will ask the region steps? to clarify a shared vision for its long-term transportation future, and identify what we can do now to take us there.
