Overview 1.1 Purpose TransLink oversees the development of Area Transport Plans (ATPs) for different sub‐regions in Metro Vancouver. An ATP is a sub‐regional multi‐modal plan which identifies strategies and actions for a sub‐ region’s transportation network, as it fits within the broader regional transportation network. In summer 2015, TransLink initiated the Southwest Area Transport Plan (SWATP). This plan will focus on the Southwest sub‐region, which includes Richmond, South Delta, and the Tsawwassen First Nation. The SWATP will be prepared in two separate phases. The first phase of the plan involves different modal analyses to identify issues and opportunities for each mode. A land use analysis, a travel market analysis, and a public perception study are also included in phase one of the plan. The issues and opportunities identified will inform phase two of the plan. This transit network analysis will identify issues and opportunities as it relates to the overall transit network in the Southwest sub‐region. 1.2 Scope The SWATP Transit Network Analysis will follow a similar process as previous transit network analyses for past Area Transit Plans. This analysis will examine the transit network and service design, transit network performance, and transit facilities assessment. The following items are within the scope of the Transit Network Analysis: ‐ Transit network and service levels ‐ Transit infrastructure The following items are not within the scope of the Transit Network Analysis: ‐ Other modes (such as walking and cycling) independent of transit ‐ Travel market analysis ‐ Land use analysis ‐ Transit service internal operations (e.g. scheduling, fleet management, vehicle type etc.) ‐ Implementation timeline and funding ‐ HandyDart and Custom Transit service 1.3 Approach and Data This analysis provides an overview of the current transit network, and evaluates the network
