The Guide includes 111 information about government services. This book can help you find people and groups and 801 1 organizations that understand and accept native ways and native culture. 111 Unfortunately, the number of urban Aboriginal organizations isn't enough to deal with the growing 08 demand. This Guide is for you. If you have an idea or a suggestion to 10 make the Guide better, send it to: Solicitor General Canada 1111 Aboriginal Corrections Policy Branch 11 340 Laurier Avenue West Ottawa, Ontario 111 KlA OP8 0 0 60011 0 00 1 11 11 111 00 1 Page 3 1101 1 11004101111 11 1111 11000•011110 111111 11110811 0011 11118111111 11011 1111 11 The Getting Out Handbook 19 1 18 1 1 Tips for 101 1 finding infomation • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • 011 1 11 Start with the Friendship Centre if there is one in your 11 community. The people who work there will be able to help you 111 or will refer you to someone who can. The Centre will also know about other Aboriginal organizations in or around town. 811 Government organizations are not always easy to deal with, 0 however, if you are patient and persistent, they will help. 11 If you run into voice messaging information systems, remember that once you have gone through the maze of pushing 110 buttons for information, you will eventually be able to talk to someone. 19 1 Try to make local phone calls or use 1-800 numbers where 0 possible because you may be on hold for a long time. That can 1 cost a lot of money. If you know what questions you need •1 answered in advance, this helps. The person on the other end of 6 the phone will be better able to assist you if you know what you want. In the long run, it also saves you time because you do not 11 have to call back for additional information or clarification. 00 Places like native housing organizations have long waiting lists. Should you be interested in obtaining accommodation in 00 urban native housing, get your name on a waiting list as soon as possible. 11 Don't give up. There are always people out there who are 111 1 willing to help, they are just sometimes hard to find. 98 1 11 1 110 Page 5 •8 1 1 The Getting Out Handbook 10 81 Finding_Out More 811 18 The federal government and the government of Ontario have many services.

  • Public Transit Operations Review – the Route Ahead Executive Summary October 2012
    City of Peterborough Peterborough Public Transit Operations Review – The Route Ahead Executive Summary October 2012 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The City of Peterborough has a strong history of supporting public transit services for all members of the community. Over the past decade ridership has grown by 62 percent on conventional services and with a current mode share of 4.5 percent, the City is on target to achieve its goal of having 6 percent of all trips within Peterborough to be on public transit by 2021. The Dillon Consulting team was engaged by the City to conduct an operational review of current conventional and Handi-Van services and provide advice on strategies to improve efficiency, increase ridership and ensure that all residents and visitors have effective transit access to employment, school, shopping, services, recreation and cultural activities within the community. There are many positive aspects to the current transit services and in a comparison with a peer group of Ontario municipalities, the performance of Peterborough Transit ranks high. The revenue/cost (R/C) ratio is 49 percent, transit ridership per capita is 37.92 and the average number of boardings per revenue vehicle hour is 29.23. This suggests a system that is meeting financial performance targets and is effective in capturing a reasonable share of the travel market. Service innovations include the use of TransCab for areas of low demand, employment specials, and express services to post-secondary institutions. The City has developed an effective partnership with the Student Association at Trent University which has resulted in a strong base of transit customers and transit service levels which benefit the entire community.

  • 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.

  • 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.

UPDATE: COVID-19 PUBLICATION IMPACT The publication of this report has been delayed by three months due to the COVID-19 global pandemic. This report, and the majority of research included within it, was completed primarily between September 2019 and March 2020 – prior to the novel coronavirus pandemic affecting local economies and transit revenue across Canada. While efforts have been made to include relevant announcements by Canadian transit agencies since that time, specifically as they relate to electric buses, many investment decisions and funding programs related to municipal green infrastructure deployments may change this year as a result of the financial crisis unfolding in cities across the country.
