Transit Friendly Design Features INTRODUCTION North American municipal and regional planning authorities are pursuing urban growth management strategies that preserve or improve urban “livability”. In the Lower Mainland, concerns about air quality and traffic congestion are central themes in regional planning, such as the GVRD Creating Our Future program, and the Transport 2021 project. Growing communities throughout BC share similar concerns. These studies identify a larger role for public transit as a key strategy for achieving a reduction in the number of automobile trips and an improved urban environment. Achieving higher transit ridership is a challenge in an automobile oriented society, and transit agencies should not bear this responsibility alone. Public Transit in B.C. Public transit is provided in over 58 municipal areas in British Columbia, including conventional, paratransit and handyDART services. BC Transit is responsible for planning, funding, marketing, and implementation of these systems. In the regions of Victoria and Vancouver, BC Transit operates these services. In other areas of the province, BC Transit works in partnership with local governments and private contractors to provide transit service. Public transit is simply the movement of people in groups, generally in large vehicles operating on fixed routes and schedules. These services are available to the public at fares that vary from community to community. The conventional bus is the most common vehicle in use in larger urban areas. The emphasis here is on integrating conventional bus service with land use planning. 1 Transit and Land Use Planning Making the Transit Connection ... to Land Use In order to attract more transit customers, the strong influence of land use and urban design on travel behaviour needs to be recognized and utilized to the advantage of transit. -

Transit Agency Responses to COVID-19: a Review of Challenges and Opportunities for Continued Service Delivery
Transit Agency Responses to COVID-19: A review of challenges and opportunities for continued service delivery By: Ellen McGowan April 2021 School of Urban and Regional Planning Queen’s University, Kingston, Ontario, Canada Supervisor: Dr. Ajay Agarwal Copyright © Ellen McGowan 2021 Acknowledgements I would first like to acknowledge my supervisor, Dr. Ajay Agarwal, whose expertise was invaluable in formulating the research questions and methodology. Thank you for your support and generosity over the last two years. I would like to thank the Norman D. Wilson Fellowship for funding this research. I would also like to thank my parents and Mark for their endless encouragement. Finally, I could not have completed this report without the support of my friends at SURP. Although our time together was cut short, I’m grateful for all that first year brought us. 2 Executive Summary Background & Context The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has radically impacted public transport ridership and service provision across the country. Since the outbreak of the virus, transit agencies have had to adapt to new and rapidly evolving conditions. Many agencies modified services to reflect lower ridership levels and to ensure the safety of both riders and operators. These changes in service were guided by public health agencies, as well as major transit associations like the Canadian Urban Transit Association (CUTA) and International Association of Public Transport (UITP). Other agencies implemented precautionary measures like rear door boarding, temporary fare suspension, and reduced capacity limits to enable the safe continuity of operations. As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, transit agencies are having to strike a balance between providing enough transportation options for essential travel and reducing service offerings to match the declining overall demand for mobility services. -

November 2020
November 2020 Pandemic Reflections on the Bus Island Health’s newest medical health officer Dr. Sandra Allison published an opinion editorial about riding the bus during the COVID-19 pandemic. NOVEMBER 26, 2020 As a public health physician in the middle of a global pandemic, some people are surprised I still use public transit to get me to and from work. Public transit is responsible, efficient, safe, climate aware and provides medium quality alone time. I usually listen to podcasts or loud music to gain some therapeutic advantage over the day’s busy schedule. The pandemic is such a stressful time for everyone. Riding public transit is a good test of the community’s fear and resilience and it is overall enjoyable with so much to see on any given day. I live in a temperate climate on the west coast of Canada, on Vancouver Island in a midsize city, and lots of people are still riding transit, heeding and disregarding precautions in their own way. And on this particular day, I sat on the bus, bobbing my head to Black Sabbath, I watched the masked man across from me curiously. It wasn’t raining that day, and while I was unzipped in my layers, I was feeling warm in my rain jacket and fleece, glad the window on the bus was open for ventilation; I was enjoying a bit of a breeze. This masked man across from me, looked a bit like Kenny from South Park. He had his rain gear on, hood up, buttoned tight, with his N95 mask, and his nervous eyes, darting side to side. -
Status of the Golden Paintbrush in British Columbia
Status of the Golden Paintbrush in British Columbia by Michael Ryan and George W. Douglas Wildlife Bulletin No. B-91 March 1999 British Columbia, Canada’s most westerly province, has a bounty of biological diversity. British Columbia’s snowclad peaks, rain-drenched forests, arid grasslands, all sizes of rivers, lakes, and wetlands, and a long and rugged coast provide habitats for more species of living organisms than are found anywhere else in Canada. However, this very diversity means that there is much to be discovered about these organisms — their distribution, abundance, habitat requirements, and interrelationships with their environment. Increasing our knowledge of this biodiversity will help us with the complex task of sustainably managing our land and waters. In 1992, the Provincial Government initiated a co-operative biodiversity research program with funding from the Corporate Resource Inventory Initia- tive, the British Columbia Ministries of Forests (Research Branch), Environment, Lands, and Parks (Wildlife and Habitat Protection Branches), and Tourism and Culture (Royal B.C. Museum); and the Forest Resource Develop- ment Agreement (FRDA II). In 1996, funding from Forest Renewal BC (FRBC) was received for a biodiversity research extension proposal. One goal of the original research program, and more recently the FRBC extension project, is to extend information to scientists, resource managers, and the public through biodiversity publications. These publications are intended to increase awareness and understanding of biodiversity, promote the concepts and importance of conserving biodiversity, and communicate provincial government initiatives related to biodiversity. We hope that they will be used as tools for the conservation of British Columbia’s rich, living legacy. -
