The survey was redesigned to focus solely on the aspects of service that are most positively correlated with system performance ratings from customers. In addition, the redesigned survey implements the Transportation Research Board’s Impact Score Method to identify and prioritize those service attributes that are most negatively impacting the largest number of customers. This will assist in the prioritization of service improvements. 3 Highlights and Recommendations • Many of the significant shifts in top ratings for WCE service aspects may be attributable to riders’ changing perceptions and expectations as a result of the ongoing COVID-19 virus. As of March 11th, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic, and by March 16th the BC provincial government recommended stay- at-home directives and physical distancing precautions, which has greatly impacted the daily lives of transit riders. While restrictions have eased in recent months as the provincial government has moved BC into Phase 3 of its Restart Plan (which allows for safe travel and re-opening of businesses such as restaurants/bars), concern around the COVID-19 virus is highly relevant for the general public. As a result, the proportion of Captive WCE Riders has increased directionally (36%, up from 29% last period), which may have an impact on the results throughout the report.

  • Skytrain Upgrade Project
    BACKGROUNDER SKYTRAIN UPGRADE PROJECT Upgrades to the existing SkyTrain network are necessary to meet current and future demand, and are a pre-condition for new rapid transit projects WHAT IS THE SKYTRAIN UPGRADE PROJECT? The 2014 Vision for Metro Vancouver Transit and Transportation included analysis and recommendations on the type of investments needed to keep the existing SkyTrain system modern and up to the task of meeting growing demand over the next 30 years. The upgrade project includes: 100 new Mark III SkyTrain cars (28 already funded in Phase One Plan; 72 cars remaining); New storage and maintenance facilities for the new cars Control and power system upgrades to ensure new cars can be operated Station upgrades to improve passenger amenities and access WHY IS THIS UPGRADE PROJECT NEEDED NOW? Current and future ridership will strain the existing system The Expo Line officially launched in 1986 and the Millennium Line opened in 2002. Since then the population and level of employment in the region has grown, and the current capacity of the system is insufficient to meet the demands during period periods. This is resulting in passengers being passed up and crowding on platforms at the busiest stations during peak periods. The recent opening of the Evergreen Extension has resulted in higher ridership and crowding on the system more quickly than anticipated. This is expected to worsen with more people coming to the region, more development near stations, and planned bus expansion in the 10-Year Vision connecting to the SkyTrain system. Previous improvements and investments in the Phase One Plan only meets today’s needs TransLink procured 28 Mark III SkyTrain cars to meet the ridership demand from the Evergreen Extension, and the Phase One Plan of the 10-Year Vision includes 28 additional Mark III cars.
