  • Cyberattack Recovery • Translink's IT Systems and Related CMBC Applications Were Taken Offline Due to a Cyberattack on Decem
    PRESIDENT & GENERAL MANAGER’S REPORT MARCH 25, 2021 TRANSLINK BOARD MEETING Cyberattack Recovery TransLink’s IT systems and related CMBC applications were taken offline due to a cyberattack on December 1, 2020. Through December during the network disruption, all CMBC departments ran in ‘fallback mode’ with manual processes. For example: assigning Transit Operators to buses, parts order tracking and maintenance planning, capital projects approval, and activities to support Access Transit customers were all handled via phone, paper, and pen. As part of the ongoing recovery efforts, key CMBC systems have been brought back on-line and this work continues on a system priority basis. TransLink Strategic Priority: CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE AND PUBLIC SUPPORT CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE Reindeer Bus In December 2020, five additional Reindeer Buses were staged for the holidays, bringing the total to seven. One conventional bus for each depot and one Community Shuttle running out of Port Coquitlam Transit Centre spread cheer throughout the holiday season. Winter Service Changes Signage was installed across the system to notify customers about Winter Service Changes that went into effect on January 4, 2021. Bus service levels across the region were adjusted to provide more space and reliable trips on busier routes. Winter Weather Response and Readiness Transit Communications (TComm) continues to be in frequent communication with all Metro Vancouver municipalities to ensure transit routes and all priority corridors are maintained during snowy conditions. All municipalities, universities, and snow removal contractors shared their COVID-19 response and readiness plans with TComm. Information was gathered from internal and external stakeholders to create a snow removal map to identify areas where snow can be piled to mitigate stacking of buses.

  • President & General Manager 2020 Q3 Report December 2020 Translink
    PRESIDENT & GENERAL MANAGER 2020 Q3 REPORT DECEMBER 2020 TRANSLINK BOARD MEETING This quarter BCRTC continued to deliver its maintenance and rail services despite the constraints of the COVID-19 pandemic. BCRTC’s Q3 business plan activities and accomplishments reflect the company’s commitment to our employees and customers. We continue to focus on the rail priorities of delivering a Just Culture, inclusive leadership, high performance, and supporting the rail expansion projects contained in the Mayors’ Vision. TransLink Strategic Priority: Implement the Mayors’ Vision Fleet and Infrastructure Phase 2 Mark III status update: In Q3, Mark III testing and commissioning continued at our Burnaby maintenance facility and on our network. All 14 Mark IIIs that make up this phase of the fleet expansion are in BCRTC’s possession, with 10 trains fully commissioned, and the remaining four trains in various stages of revenue service testing. It is anticipated that these remaining trains will be fully commission early in Q4, bringing our total Mark III fleet to 21 trains, which represents 84 cars. Modernize infrastructure to increase capacity and accommodate growth With future network expansion on the horizon and the long-term ridership growth that SkyTrain is likely to experience with it, it remains vital to modernize the system’s infrastructure to ensure resiliency and reliability of the transit service BCRTC provides. • In Q3, the 2020 running rail replacement project work began in the area between 22nd Street to New West Station. The project was able to replace 6,500 rail pads on the inbound track between the two stations. Rail pads are used to fasten, and support running rail to the guideway and help to reduce shock and vibration on the system.
