2017 05 11 Translink Increases Seabus Frequency
MEDIA RELEASE TransLink increases SeaBus frequency 15-minute sailings will now run until 9 p.m. May 11, 2017 NEW WESTMINSTER, BC — Starting May 19, customers will benefit from another SeaBus service increase as part of TransLink’s continued roll out of Phase One of the 10-Year Mayors’ Vision for Metro Vancouver Transportation. This service increase means 15-minute sailings will start earlier on weekends and run until 9 p.m. every day, making it even easier to travel to or from the North Shore. SeaBus service increases include: 15-minute sailings starting at 6 a.m. on weekdays, 7 a.m. on Saturdays and 8 a.m. on Sundays and most holidays. 15-minute service will also extend later into the evening. This will allow customers to enjoy peak-hour service for departures until 9:02 p.m. from Lonsdale Quay and 9:16 from Waterfront Station every day. As part of Phase One of the 10-Year Vision, TransLink increased SeaBus service in January by doubling service on Sundays and holidays from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. With the May 19 increase, SeaBus joins the Frequent Transit Network (FTN), a network of corridors where transit service runs at least every 15 minutes in both directions through the day and into the evening, every day of the week. People traveling along Frequent Transit Network corridors can expect convenient, reliable, easy-to-use services that are frequent enough that they do not need to refer to a schedule. Other TransLink services that are part of the FTN include the Expo, Millennium and Canada lines, and B-Line bus service. -

ATTACHMENT A Page 1 of 5 November 9, 2010 Mayor Peter Fassbender Chair, Mayors' Council on Regional Transportation c/o City of Langley 20399 Douglas Crescent Langley, BC V3A 4B3 Dear Chair Fassbender, Re: 2011 Supplemental Plans On behalf of the Board of Directors of the South Coast British Columbia Transportation Authority (TransLink), I am forwarding the two enclosed Transportation and Financial Supplemental Plans for 2011 to 2013, and Outlooks for 2014 to 2020, both approved by the Board, to the Mayors' Council on Regional Transportation. The purpose of presenting these supplemental plans is to provide the region's mayors with an opportunity to exercise their authority under the South Coast British Columbia Transportation Authority Act to approve one of the options to expand Metro Vancouver's transportation network and confirm it as TransLink's 'base plan' for the next three years. Alternately, the Mayors Council may choose to not approve either of them and maintain the program in the current base plan. Both options include funding for the Evergreen SkyTrain Line connecting the Lougheed and Coquitlam town centres and for an extension of United Boulevard in Coquitlam as the first phase of the North Fraser Perimeter Road goods movement corridor from the Queensborough Bridge in New Westminster to Highway #1. One option, 'Delivering the Evergreen Line and the North Fraser Perimeter Road,' is confined to the two highest priority projects. The other, 'Moving Forward,' proposes additional road and transit improvements across Metro Vancouver, notably in the South of Fraser and North Shore sub-regions. All of these projects have been long-standing priorities and offer enormous benefits to the people of Metro Vancouver. -

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. -
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. -
