News Release Translink Reports Transit Ridership Heading for a New Record News Release For Release: Sunday, August 21, 2011 Contact: Ken Hardie Phone: (604) 453‐4606 _____________________________________________________________________________________________ TransLink reports transit ridership heading for a new record With significant increases in transit trips in the second quarter of 2011, TransLink could well be on track to its tenth annual ridership record in a row, exceeding 2010ʹs mark of 211.3 million passengers.. While company officials are pleased with the results, concern is growing over the ability of the system to meet future demand. Preliminary statistics for the first six months of 2011 report 114.4 million transit trips, four per cent higher than in 2010, when there was a huge spike in passengers during the Olympic Games in February. While February 2011’s passenger count was 28 per cent lower than in 2010, totals have been higher in every other month so far this year, with second quarter ridership higher by over 13 per cent. ‘Boardings’ – the number of times a transit passenger entered or transferred to one of the buses, SeaBuses, SkyTrain cars, or West Coast Express coaches in TransLink’s fleet, totalled 173.6 million in the first six months of the year. Ian Jarvis, TransLink’s CEO, calls the year‐to‐date figures ‘amazing.’ “We’re out‐performing even our Olympics‐year ridership, and it signals all that expansion TransLink delivered from 2005 to 2010 and the effective integration of the Canada Line into the system really hit the mark in terms of making our network a viable travel option for more people.” With the annual back‐to‐work and back‐to‐school crush coming after Labour Day, TransLink is cautioning road, transit and cycling commuters to expect heavier traffic, bigger crowds on transit and longer travel times beginning Tuesday September 6th. Jarvis says the latest transit ridership results send a critical message to the region. “I’m very concerned that we’re seeing this substantial rise in demand by more people for more transit at a time when TransLink has no ability to meaningfully increase capacity. We’re on a solid financial footing to sustain the services we have now and we’re re‐allocating under‐used transit services to times of day and routes where they’ll serve more people. But this rate of growth is a clear signal that we need to start expanding the network again, and that’s what TransLink’s current ‘Moving Forward’ supplemental plan proposes to do. “Otherwise, we’ll lose this momentum and that won’t be good news for anyone on transit, in cars or involved in moving goods or services in Metro Vancouver,” Jarvis says. TransLink’s Moving Forward plan proposes to expand bus services region wide, adding new routes, increasing SeaBus sailings, upgrading SkyTrain stations and funding Metro Vancouver’s share of the Evergreen Line. The expansion, when all in place, would add capacity for an estimated 40 million more transit rides per year by 2021. There would also be additional funding for cycling and the Major Road Network. TransLink Chair Nancy Olewiler says there is solid public support for the improvements, but how to fund them remains ‘a sticking point.’ “At the request of the Mayors’ Council, TransLink will hold another series of public meetings in September, plus other sessions for city councillors across Metro Vancouver, to see if the support is there for an additional $70 million per year in revenue to fund the next round of expansion. “The mayors have proposed a 2 cent per litre increase in gas tax and are working with the Province on a new revenue source, both of which will be needed if we’re going to move now on the improvements. If there’s no decision to start expansion now, TransLink will continue to drive as much performance as possible out of our current transit system. But like Ian (Jarvis), I’m really concerned about falling behind the curve as our region continues to grow,” Olewiler says. Details on the Moving Forward plan and opportunities for public comment are available on‐line at www.translink.ca ‐‐ 30 ‐‐ Editors Note: Backgrounders on year‐to‐date transit ridership, the Moving Forward supplemental plan and the next round of public open houses follow.

  • 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.

  • Corporate Report
    CORPORATE REPORT NO: R120 COUNCIL DATE: June 24, 2019 REGULAR COUNCIL TO: Mayor & Council DATE: June 20, 2019 FROM: Acting General Manager, Engineering FILE: 8740-01 SUBJECT: Future of Rapid Transit in Surrey RECOMMENDATION The Engineering Department recommends that Council: 1. Receive this report for information; 2. Endorse the principles attached as Appendix “I” to this report; and 3. Authorize staff to develop a Long-Range Rapid Transit Vision for input into TransLink’s Transport 2050 plan. INTENT The intent of this report is to inform Council on TransLink’s update of the Regional Transportation Strategy (now called Transport 2050), outline recommended principles for future rapid transit expansion in Surrey, and request support from Council for the development of a long-range rapid transit vision for Surrey’s submission to TransLink for inclusion in the Transport 2050 plan development process. BACKGROUND The Success of Previous Regional Transportation Plans Transportation and land use are integrally linked, as demonstrated by Metro Vancouver’s long history of coordinating land use and transportation investments. Many of the first coordinated efforts to integrate transit and land use were identified as part of Metro Vancouver’s (at that time known as Greater Vancouver Regional District or “GVRD”) first “Livable Region Plan” that, in 1975, established an urban land use pattern aimed at focusing growth and development in compact urban centres supported by an integrated, multi-modal transportation network. In 1993, prior to the creation of TransLink, the GVRD prepared “A Long-Range Transportation Plan for Greater Vancouver”, known as Transport 2021. This plan was instrumental in identifying an end-state vision for transportation that included policies and capital improvements aligned with regional land use goals.
