Recognizing that the Metro Vancouver region is large & diverse, TransLink divides the region into sub-regions in order to ensure local context & needs are understood &reflected in our planning. To plan for transit service & infrastructure, while also addressing aspects of cycling, walking, driving, & goods movement in the Southwest metro area including Richmond, South Delta, Tsawwassen First Nation as well as important connections to North Delta & other nearby areas, TransLink worked with municipal partners, stakeholders & the public to develop the Southwest Area Transport Plan (SWATP). Situation & Challenges Challenge of making long-range planning interesting and relevant. The engagement activities sought to ensure that current and future transportation investment decisions in the Southwest Area are informed by customer needs, coordinated with municipal land use plans, & integrated with other transportation modes and the wider transportation network. The engagement needed to consider customer experience, current & projected land use & development, transportation & ridership data, as well as feedback from the public, stakeholders & local governments- all across a broad geographic section of the metro Vancouver area. Another challenge was that a high proportion of residents of the Southwest area have Chinese as a primary language, necessitating translation of key communication materials. 1 Strategy & Objective Phase 1 (April/May 2016) – involved a comprehensive analysis of local transit service & infrastructure, as well as aspects of cycling, walking, driving, & goods movement. In this phase we gathered perspectives from the community on what’s important and opportunities to improve the current transit & transportation network. Phase 2 (May/June 2017) – identified recommendations related to transit service & infrastructure, as well as cycling, walking, & the Major Road Network. In this phase we sought public & stakeholder input on more than 40 proposed changes to bus routes throughout the sub-region, & a proposed network of regionally significant cycling corridors. Our final recommendations for transportation priorities are based on the feedback we received. Results, Impact & Measurement Phase 1 (April/May 2016) – Street Teams distributing 5,500+ posters & postcards to community locales & transit hubs (English and Traditional Chinese); 3.1 million+ impressions of digital ads; 23,000+ impressions on social media; 4,000+ project webpage visits. Results: 2,923 online surveys completed; 114 paper surveys completed; 2,600+ in-person interactions through 11 pop-up community events. Phase 2 (May/June 2017) – Street Teams distributing 13,500+ posters & postcards to community locales & transit hubs (English and Traditional Chinese); 1.5million+ impressions of digital ads; 70,000+ impressions on social media; 15,000+ project webpage visits. Results: 3,192 online surveys completed; 96 paper surveys completed (including 35 Chinese language); 1,800+ in-person interactions at 10 events. Submission Reasoning We believe that this communications and engagement effort was impactful to the both the planning objectives of the project- that is, to gain useful community & stakeholder feedback & on transit and regional transportation proposals, but also to the engagement efforts themselves- to achieve transparency in planning, encourage stakeholder buy-in & support of plans, & generate wider understanding of the project. The campaign included multiple avenues of information-sharing & engagement with customers and area stakeholders to better understand their transportation experience and needs; in-person, online, digital & traditional media, pop-up events, & surveys. A Public Advisory Committee, Technical Advisory Committee, & a Senior Advisory Committee also supported plan development. 2 Print Campaign Posters – English and Traditional Chinese Have your say, your way. 。 Phase 2 of the Southwest Area Transport Plan to improve transportation in Richmond, Tsawwassen First Nation, South Delta and connections to North Delta is now underway and we want to know what you think. 知多點及在 月 日或之前填寫問卷，或者前來就近的流動開放日 Learn more and take the survey by June 19 at translink.ca/swatp or come (pop-up open house)。 to a pop-up open house near you.

  • Translink Launches Historic New Bus Sevice
    MEDIA RELEASE TransLink launches historic new bus service RapidBus brings faster, more frequent service to eight Metro Vancouver communities January 6, 2020 COQUITLAM, B.C. – TransLink launches RapidBus on four routes – bringing customers up to 20 per cent faster bus service with higher frequencies, fewer stops, dedicated bus lanes, bus priority changes to intersections, and all-door boarding. RapidBus provides a more reliable bus service that can move more than 10,000 people per hour at peak times. The new service is made possible through investments from Phase One of the Mayors’ Vision, the Government of Canada, and the Province of BC. “We’re stepping up our bus game,” says TransLink CEO Kevin Desmond. “RapidBus is a crucial part of improving the region’s bus service through the Mayors’ Vision. These RapidBus routes will benefit eight communities and bring our customers a more reliable bus service that they deserve.” Coming every 10 minutes or better during peak hours and every 15 minutes or better in non-peak hours, customers can now catch a RapidBus on these four routes: • R1 King George Blvd – (Guildford Exchange/Newton Exchange) o Every eight minutes during peak hours • R3 Lougheed Hwy (Coquitlam Central Station/Haney Place) o Every ten minutes during peak hours • R4 41st Ave (UBC/Joyce-Collingwood Station) o Every three to six minutes during peak hours • R5 Hastings St (SFU/Burrard Station) o Every four to five minutes during peak hours RapidBus customers will enjoy new customer amenities such as softer seats, more space on 60-foot articulated buses, real-time digital signage, and audio next-bus information at RapidBus stops.

  • Structural Effects of the Built Environment on Vehicle Greenhouse Gas Emissions: Evidence from Vancouver, Canada
    STRUCTURAL EFFECTS OF THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT ON VEHICLE GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS: EVIDENCE FROM VANCOUVER, CANADA by ANDREW JOHN DEVLIN BES (Pl.) (Hon.), The University of Waterloo, 2007 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES (Resource Management and Environmental Studies) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) January 2010 © Andrew John Devlin, 2010 ABSTRACT This thesis summarizes efforts to estimate fundamental relationships among built environment characteristics, activity patterns and vehicle use in order to assess their relative influences on vehicle GHG emission generation in Metro Vancouver, Canada. Activity-based structural equation models were specified in a cross-sectional study design using local travel survey data and highly detailed urban form data. Structural equation analysis permitted explicit modeling of the indirect effects between built environment variables and vehicle emissions as mediated through activity patterns and vehicle use. Modeling travel at the activity-tour level allowed for a deeper understanding of the relative contributions of local and regional built environment variables in explaining tour complexity, vehicle use and emissions. Controlling for pertinent socio-economic and demographic variables, standardized parameter coefficients show the built environment to be a significant predictor of vehicle-related GHG emissions across all models, although the strength and magnitude of these effects vary by activity tour type. The local built environment is a stronger predictor of vehicle use and related emissions for non- work/school tours, while regional accessibility measures yielded larger effects on the carbon-intensity of work and school tours. Vehicle accessibility yielded significantly large effects on vehicle use and emissions across all models, suggesting that policy directions beyond promoting more compact, walkable and regionally connected development to curb emissions are required.
