Forward-looking statements, by their nature, require TransLink to make assumptions and are subject to inherent risk and uncertainties. In light of uncertainty related to financial, economic and regulatory environments, such risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond TransLink’s control and the effects of which can be difficult to predict, may cause actual results to differ materially from the expectations expressed in the forward-looking statements. Page 3 1. Business Plan Summary The South Coast British Columbia Transportation Authority, TransLink, is Metro Vancouver’s regional transportation authority and its service region includes 23 municipalities on the traditional territory of 45 First Nations communities. TransLink delivers a wide range of services and programs to plan and provide for the transportation needs of residents, businesses and visitors in the region. This includes Bus, SkyTrain, SeaBus, HandyDART, West Coast Express and Transit Police. TransLink also shares responsibility for the Major Road Network and walking and cycling infrastructure with its local government partners. Since 2016, the Metro Vancouver region has seen consistent ridership growth year over year. To meet this increasing demand for the years to come, TransLink’s 2020 Budget, specifically targets investment in the expansion and maintenance of the system and prioritizes customer experience and the efficient management of funds. The 2020 Budget is built on three priorities: • Increasing and improving region-wide service, • Maintaining and repairing of the system for safety & reliability, and • Enhancing the customer experience and information services. TransLink is currently implementing Phase Two of the 10-Year Vision to alleviate overcrowding on transit and congestion on major roads. TransLink is able to deliver these improvements with the support of the region’s Mayors along with investments from the Province of British Columbia and the Government of Canada. Phase Two of the Investment Plan prioritizes expanding and improving the region’s transportation network. Metro Vancouver residents and visitors are relying more on transit as a mode of transportation, which explains why ridership has grown by 3.6 per cent in 2019. Since 2016 ridership has grown 17.3 per cent. New developments and increased service continue to drive a positive brand impression from Metro Vancouver residents. TransLink’s plan for 2020 is to bolster growth with smart investments. These are investments that will work towards maintaining the current system while expanding new service. The 2020 Budget priorities will be achieved through the following initiatives: Increasing and Improving Region-Wide Service • Implementing over 364,000 conventional bus service hours. • Launching five new RapidBus (formerly B-Line) routes (two replacement and three new routes). • Expanding SkyTrain service with 14 new Mark III trains, and 12 new Canada Line trains. • Developing the Transport 2050 Strategy and furthering public engagement. • Developing a climate action plan. • Upgrading two and constructing one Operations and Maintenance Centres. Maintaining and Repairing of the System for Safety & Reliability • Renewing technology in the management systems. • Delivering an Emergency Response Plan and formalizing the Safety Management System. • Expanding the retail amenities to enhance the customer experience and improve perceived safety and security. Page 4 Enhancing the Customer Experience and Information Services • Developing the online HandyDART reservation system for customers to book, change and cancel trips online. • Expanding Conventional Bus and Community Shuttle fleet with 95 new vehicles. • Expanding and replacing 52 new HandyDART vehicles. • Improving bus speed and reliability to address growing congestion. • Furthering the development of safety campaigns. • Revamping the TransLink website to optimize the customer experience. • Formalizing an Emergency Management and Communications program. Driven by the needs of customers and the region, TransLink is expanding

  • 1 the Phibbs Bus Exchange Redesign
    The Phibbs Bus Exchange Redesign: From Concrete and Asphalt to Raingardens and Bridges! Michelle Babiuk, Project Manager, Infrastructure and Network Management, TransLink Bernard Abelson, Transportation Planning Business Sector Lead, McElhanney (previously CH2M HILL) Paper prepared for presentation at the session: What are Transit-Supportive Environments? Innovative Indicators and Methodologies to Evaluate Transit Supportiveness of the 2016 Conference of the Transportation Association of Canada Toronto, ON 1 Abstract The Phibbs Exchange is a major bus Exchange located at the northern foot of the Second Narrows Bridge on the TransCanada Highway in the District of North Vancouver (DoNV). It serves 18 bus routes and 15,700 daily passenger trips. The Exchange provides connections between buses running to East Vancouver and Burnaby, and across the North Shore. Due to its poor passenger environment and its existing and long-term operational and capacity deficiencies, the Exchange was identified as a priority for upgrade in TransLink’s North Shore Area Transit Plan (NSATP), as well as DoNV’s Lower Lynn Transportation Strategy and Master Transportation Plan. The Exchange has a number of safety and operational deficiencies and challenges, exacerbated by the following: • Capacity - The Exchange does not have enough bus bays to accommodate the current bus services that operate at the Exchange, resulting in buses double-parking in bays. • Transit Circulation – The current transit circulation result in numerous conflict points and unsafe conditions for pedestrians, passengers, operators and cyclists. • Passenger Environment - Phibbs Exchange has long been perceived by passengers as unsafe and unwelcoming. This is partly due to the Exchange’s configuration which locates passenger areas on an island separated from the adjoining neighbourhood by bus drive aisles and a Highway 1 off-ramp.

  • Corporate Report
    CORPORATE REPORT NO: R120 COUNCIL DATE: June 24, 2019 REGULAR COUNCIL TO: Mayor & Council DATE: June 20, 2019 FROM: Acting General Manager, Engineering FILE: 8740-01 SUBJECT: Future of Rapid Transit in Surrey RECOMMENDATION The Engineering Department recommends that Council: 1. Receive this report for information; 2. Endorse the principles attached as Appendix “I” to this report; and 3. Authorize staff to develop a Long-Range Rapid Transit Vision for input into TransLink’s Transport 2050 plan. INTENT The intent of this report is to inform Council on TransLink’s update of the Regional Transportation Strategy (now called Transport 2050), outline recommended principles for future rapid transit expansion in Surrey, and request support from Council for the development of a long-range rapid transit vision for Surrey’s submission to TransLink for inclusion in the Transport 2050 plan development process. BACKGROUND The Success of Previous Regional Transportation Plans Transportation and land use are integrally linked, as demonstrated by Metro Vancouver’s long history of coordinating land use and transportation investments. Many of the first coordinated efforts to integrate transit and land use were identified as part of Metro Vancouver’s (at that time known as Greater Vancouver Regional District or “GVRD”) first “Livable Region Plan” that, in 1975, established an urban land use pattern aimed at focusing growth and development in compact urban centres supported by an integrated, multi-modal transportation network. In 1993, prior to the creation of TransLink, the GVRD prepared “A Long-Range Transportation Plan for Greater Vancouver”, known as Transport 2021. This plan was instrumental in identifying an end-state vision for transportation that included policies and capital improvements aligned with regional land use goals.

  • 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.

  • 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.
