INTRODUCTION 1.1 Overview The Town of Oakville developed its transportation strategy through the recent Oakville Transportation Master Plan (TMP) in 2007. However since 2007 the planning framework has changed as a result of provincial policy. The land use targets for the Town have been revised to conform to the provincial Places to Grow Act and related Region and Town policies. As a result, there is a need for the Town to update its transportation strategy. The strategy will have regard for the implications of the on-going studies for growth areas identified through the Town’s Livable Oakville Initiative. The transportation strategy will also incorporate information that has changed or become available since the 2007 study, including: . Land

    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.

  • Grand River Transit Business Plan 2017 - 2021
    Grand River Transit Business Plan 2017 - 2021 C2015-16 September 22 2015 March 2018 Dear Friends, Since Grand River Transit (GRT) was established in January 2000, multi-year business plans have guided Council in making significant operating and capital investments in public transit, taking us from a ridership of 9.4 million in 2000 to 19.7 million in 2017. The GRT Business Plan (2017-2021) will guide the planned improvements to the Regional transit network and service levels over the next five years to achieve the Regional Transportation Master Plan ridership target of 28 million annual riders by 2021. Increasing the share of travel by transit supports the Regional goals of managing growth sustainably, improving air quality, and contributing to a thriving and liveable community. Over the next five years, GRT will experience a quantum leap as a competitive travel option for many residents of Waterloo Region. This is the result of significant improvements to the service including the start of LRT service, completion of the iXpress network, continued improvement to service levels with a focus on more frequent service, the introduction of new and enhanced passenger facilities, and the implementation of the EasyGO fare card system. The proposed transit network and annual service improvement plans will be refined annually based on public feedback and changing land use and travel patterns. The implementation of annual service improvements would then be subject to annual budget deliberations and Regional Council approvals. The new GRT Business Plan (2017-2021) builds on the successes of the previous business plans and on GRT’s solid organizational and infrastructure foundation.

  • (BRES) and Successful Integration of Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) May 24, 2016
    Bolton Residential Expansion Study (BRES) and Successful Integration of Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) May 24, 2016 The purpose of this memorandum is to review the professional literature pertaining to the potential develop- ment of a Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) in the Bolton Residential Expansion Study area, in response to the Region of Peel’s recent release of the Discussion Paper. The Discussion Paper includes the establishment of evaluation themes and criteria, which are based on provincial and regional polices, stakeholder and public comments. It should be noted that while the Discussion Paper and the Region’s development of criteria does not specifi- cally advocate for TOD, it is the intent of this memorandum to illustrate that TOD-centric planning will not only adequately address such criteria, but will also complement and enhance the Region’s planning principles, key points and/or themes found in stakeholder and public comments. In the following are research findings related to TOD generally, and specifically, theMetrolinx Mobility Hub Guidelines For The Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (September 2011) objectives. Additionally, following a review and assessment of the “Response to Comments Submitted on the Bolton Residential Expansion Study ROPA” submission prepared by SGL Planning & Design Inc. (March 15, 2016), this memorandum evaluates some of the key arguments and assumptions made in this submission relative to the TOD research findings. Planning for Transit-Oriented Developments TOD policy and programs can result in catalytic development that creates walkable, livable neighborhoods around transit providing economic, livability and equitable benefits. The body of research on TODs in the United States has shown that TODs are more likely to succeed when project planning takes place in conjunction with transit system expansion.

  • Oakville Transit [email protected] 905-815-2020
    Annual Accessibility Plan 2016 Oakville Transit www.oakvilletransit.ca [email protected] 905-815-2020 - 1 - OAKVILLE TRANSIT ANNUAL ACCESSIBILITY PLAN FOR 2016 The following document is Oakville Transit’s Accessibility Plan for 2016. Although it is a stand alone document, it should also be considered an integral part of the Town of Oakville’s Annual Accessibility Update and Multi-Year Accessibility Plan, 2012-2017. 1. Introduction Oakville Transit expects that demand for its services will continue to grow and that in conjunction with this growth there will be increasing demands for improved accessibility. These demands will be driven by both customer expectations and the requirement to comply with existing and emerging legislation. In particular, the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, 2005 (AODA) provides the framework for accessibility standards that will require accessibility be achieved within defined timelines. There are currently five accessibility standards as part of the AODA. These standards are rules that organizations need to follow to identify, remove and prevent barriers. The Accessibility Standard for Customer Service was the first standard to become law. The next four standards – Information and Communications, Employment, Transportation and Design of Public Spaces – have been combined under one regulation, the Integrated Accessibility Standards Regulation (IASR). These standards all impact the transit industry and will guide accessibility improvements for Oakville Transit now and moving forward. If Oakville Transit is to offer itself as a viable means of transportation then all Oakville residents should have access. Accessible buses are a major step in this direction, however, full system accessibility means much more. It includes improved service levels, facility access, walkways, landing pads, shelters, signage and access to information.
