Additionally, the Regional Municipality of Niagara is looking for potential options for delivery of inter-municipal transit services in the Niagara region. The intent is to work in collaboration with the local municipal transit systems, including Fort Erie Transit. Fort Erie Transit currently offers one conventional fixed route, operating Mondays to

  • Niagara Transit Service Delivery and Governance Strategy Final Report January 2017 16-3664
    in association with… NIAGARA REGION Niagara Transit Service Delivery and Governance Strategy Final Report January 2017 16-3664 Executive Summary Introduction Since January 2016 the Inter-municipal Transit Working Group has been developing options for an integrated transit system that works for all of Niagara. The Inter-municipal Transit Working Group is led by the Mayors and CAOs from St. Catharines, Niagara Falls and Welland with the support from the Niagara Regional Chair, Niagara Region CAO and technical staff. Dillon Consulting Limited, in association with McNeil Management Services and the Gooderham Group, was retained to assess the existing inter-municipal transit service in Niagara Region and develop potential options for future delivery of inter-municipal transit services for consideration by the Niagara IMT Working Group. This included an assessment of options for service delivery, governance, fare integration, fare payment technology and trip planning. This report presents a service delivery strategy with recommendations for: The elimination of duplicate services servicing post-secondary institutions and the expansion of off-peak services on key inter-municipal corridors; Better integration with other municipal transit systems; New Niagara-West inter-municipal transit link; and New dynamic transit services for low-demand areas. The report also recommends that a Consolidated Transit service delivery and governance structure is implemented, integrating the planning and delivery of local and inter-municipal transit services in St. Catharines, Niagara Falls and Welland into one large consolidated system. Integrated planning and operations would take place through a consolidated governing body, board or commission (from here on out termed “consolidated governing body”) while final decisions on local transit interests would continue to be made by each local council for transit services within their own jurisdiction.
