  • Pathway Network for Canada's Capital Region 2006 Strategic Plan PLANI
    Pathway Network for Canada’s Capital Region 2006 Strategic Plan PLANI-CITÉ i June 2006 Pathway Network for Canada’s Capital Region 2006 Strategic Plan THE VISION The National Capital Commission (NCC) and its partners propose the following as a framework for the planning and development of the Capital Pathway network for the next 10 years: Multi-purpose use The Capital Pathway network covers Canada’s Capital Region in its entirety. It is a multi-purpose recreational and tourist network, which also supports non-motorized commuting vocations. Accessibility and safety The network extends to and links natural and built areas. Through its layout and design standards, the network encourages a quality user experience and accessibility, emphasizing the recognition of the “Green Capital”, and highlighting symbolic points of interest within the Capital. The network provides access to waterways, green spaces, cultural and heritage features while supporting the protection of natural areas and offering a wide range of easily accessible services. User education and awareness programs targeting pathway sharing in a respectful and tolerant manner result in a safe and pleasant experience. Connectivity The network, through its linkage with local cycling routes and regional/national trails, is connected to other non-motorized transportation networks within the region to encourage sustainable transportation and forms a key component of Canada’s Capital recreational and cycling experience. Recognition The network, as a result of its multi use vocation, its extensive and far reaching system of pathways and connection with regional, provincial and national trails and pathways within and outside Canada’s Capital Region as well as the quality of the experience is regarded as one of North America’s best.

  • Transit Support Division 2009 Operational Plan
    Network Optimization Final Recommendations Media Briefing April 13, 2011 1 Setting the Stage • On March 23rd we released a draft network optimization proposal designed to achieve $19.5M in annual savings for public input • The public consultation process gave us the valuable customer feedback that has helped us come back with a refined system proposal that better serves the needs of our customers • As a result, over 2/3 of the draft proposal was improved based on this feedback • These recommendations address key issues that were raised during the consultation period while still allowing us to achieve the designated savings of $19.5M annually through network optimization 2 Budget Context • Council approved 2011 Budget, which directed Transit Services to achieve $22M in annualized savings • The 2011 Budget includes free service to seniors Mondays and Fridays from noon onward, continuation of free Wednesdays for seniors and of the U-Pass program, and freezes Community Pass rates at current prices • If network changes are not implemented, our public transit system will demand a property tax increase of at least 5% by 2016 – this represents an additional $145M tax pressure for residents • The 2011 Budget builds on $21M in previous efficiency savings achieved by OC Transpo since 2008 3 Budget Context • Total savings to be realized in 2011 - $7.3M. Total savings on an annualized basis going forward are $22M • Saving of $19.5M annually and $6.5M in 2011 will be achieved as a result of “network optimization” • Savings of $750K will be achieved through internal efficiencies in 2011 • Savings of $2.5M will be realized in 2012 as a result of the purchase of double-decker buses.
