  • 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.

  • Appendix K – Consultation
    Appendix K – Consultation NOTICE OF STUDY COMMENCEMENT Grand River Transit Northfield Drive Facility Preliminary Design and Municipal Class Environmental Assessment, Schedule ‘C’ THE STUDY: The Regional Municipality of Waterloo is undertaking the Preliminary Design and Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) Schedule ‘C’ study of a new transit facility at 300 and 350 Northfield Drive in the City of Waterloo. Grand River Transit (GRT) is continuing to expand services, consistent with the Region’s objective to increase the use of public transit. In order to accommodate growth, the Region has identified a need for a new operating facility in the City of Waterloo. The new facility will be used to deploy, service, maintain and store GRT’s conventional and specialized transit vehicles. THE PROCESS: The study will be conducted in accordance with the planning and design process for ‘Schedule C’ projects as outlined in the Municipal Engineers Association "Municipal Class Environmental Assessment," (October 2000, as amended in 2011), which is approved under the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act. The Class EA process includes public/external agency consultation, an evaluation of alternative solutions and alternative design concepts, an assessment of potential impacts associated with the proposed improvements, and development of measures to mitigate identified impacts. COMMENTS: Public participation will form an integral part of the Class EA study to ensure that the ongoing concerns of the public and affected groups within the study area are identified, documented and assessed. Upon completion of the study, an Environmental Study Report will be prepared and made available for public review and comment. Properties adjacent to the study area that may be affected by field studies as a result of the undertaking will be contacted.
