    Transit Friendly Design Features INTRODUCTION North American municipal and regional planning authorities are pursuing urban growth management strategies that preserve or improve urban “livability”. In the Lower Mainland, concerns about air quality and traffic congestion are central themes in regional planning, such as the GVRD Creating Our Future program, and the Transport 2021 project. Growing communities throughout BC share similar concerns. These studies identify a larger role for public transit as a key strategy for achieving a reduction in the number of automobile trips and an improved urban environment. Achieving higher transit ridership is a challenge in an automobile oriented society, and transit agencies should not bear this responsibility alone. Public Transit in B.C. Public transit is provided in over 58 municipal areas in British Columbia, including conventional, paratransit and handyDART services. BC Transit is responsible for planning, funding, marketing, and implementation of these systems. In the regions of Victoria and Vancouver, BC Transit operates these services. In other areas of the province, BC Transit works in partnership with local governments and private contractors to provide transit service. Public transit is simply the movement of people in groups, generally in large vehicles operating on fixed routes and schedules. These services are available to the public at fares that vary from community to community. The conventional bus is the most common vehicle in use in larger urban areas. The emphasis here is on integrating conventional bus service with land use planning. 1 Transit and Land Use Planning Making the Transit Connection ... to Land Use In order to attract more transit customers, the strong influence of land use and urban design on travel behaviour needs to be recognized and utilized to the advantage of transit.

    APPENDIX 5 February 2013

    APPENDIX 5 February 2013 APPENDIX 5 APPENDIX 5-A Paper #5a Transit Service and Infrastructure Paper #5a TRANSIT SERVICE AND INFRASTRUCTURE This paper outlines public transit service within the Town of Oakville, identifies the role of public transit within the objectives of the Livable Oakville Plan and the North Oakville Secondary Plans, outlines the current transit initiatives and identifies future transit strategies and alternatives. This report provides an assessment of target transit modal share, the level of investment required to achieve these targets and the anticipated effectiveness of alternative transit investment strategies. This paper will provide strategic direction and recommendations for Oakville Transit, GO Transit and VIA Rail service, and identify opportunities to better integrate transit with other modes of transportation, such as walking and cycling, as well as providing for accessible services. 1.0 The Role of Transit in Oakville 1.1. Provincial Policy The Province of Ontario has provided direction to municipalities regarding growth and the relationship between growth and sustainable forms of travel including public transit. Transit is seen to play a key role in addressing the growth pressures faced by municipalities in the Greater Golden Horseshoe, including the Town of Oakville. In June 2006, the Province of Ontario released a Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe. The plan is a framework for implementing the Province’s vision for building stronger, prosperous communities by better managing growth in the region to 2031. The plan outlines strategies for managing growth with emphasis on reducing dependence on the automobile and “promotes transit, cycling and walking”. In addition, the plan establishes “urban growth centres” as locations for accommodating a significant share of population and employment growth.
