  • Cyberattack Recovery • Translink's IT Systems and Related CMBC Applications Were Taken Offline Due to a Cyberattack on Decem
    PRESIDENT & GENERAL MANAGER’S REPORT MARCH 25, 2021 TRANSLINK BOARD MEETING Cyberattack Recovery TransLink’s IT systems and related CMBC applications were taken offline due to a cyberattack on December 1, 2020. Through December during the network disruption, all CMBC departments ran in ‘fallback mode’ with manual processes. For example: assigning Transit Operators to buses, parts order tracking and maintenance planning, capital projects approval, and activities to support Access Transit customers were all handled via phone, paper, and pen. As part of the ongoing recovery efforts, key CMBC systems have been brought back on-line and this work continues on a system priority basis. TransLink Strategic Priority: CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE AND PUBLIC SUPPORT CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE Reindeer Bus In December 2020, five additional Reindeer Buses were staged for the holidays, bringing the total to seven. One conventional bus for each depot and one Community Shuttle running out of Port Coquitlam Transit Centre spread cheer throughout the holiday season. Winter Service Changes Signage was installed across the system to notify customers about Winter Service Changes that went into effect on January 4, 2021. Bus service levels across the region were adjusted to provide more space and reliable trips on busier routes. Winter Weather Response and Readiness Transit Communications (TComm) continues to be in frequent communication with all Metro Vancouver municipalities to ensure transit routes and all priority corridors are maintained during snowy conditions. All municipalities, universities, and snow removal contractors shared their COVID-19 response and readiness plans with TComm. Information was gathered from internal and external stakeholders to create a snow removal map to identify areas where snow can be piled to mitigate stacking of buses.

APPROVAL Name: Niko Vujevic Degree: Master of Urban Studies Title of Thesis: Population Demographics and Transit use Patterns in Urban Areas Adjacent to SkyTrain Lines Examining Committee: Chair: Dr. Patrick Smith _______________________________________ Dr. Peter Hall Senior Supervisor Assistant Professor, Urban Studies Program ______________________________________ Dr. Meg Holden Supervisor Assistant Professor, Urban Studies Program ______________________________________ Dr. Len Evenden Examiner Professor, Department of Geography Date Defended/Approved: November 30, 2009 ii ABSTRACT The SkyTrain system has been in operation in Metro Vancouver since 1986 when the Expo Line was opened. The Millennium Line was opened in 2002. The two transit lines have been used by the municipalities to encourage high density developments near the stations. The study examined whether there were significant differences in terms of neighbourhood design, density, diversity and demographics within 400 and 1,500m capture zones from stations. Data was compared on a regional and local level. The 1996, 2001 and 2006 Census data was analysed to find out how the neighbourhoods changed over a decade. The data indicates that the Expo Line neighbourhoods have a well established transit ridership base and much higher densities than the Millennium Line neighbourhoods or the wider Metro Vancouver area.

    Joyce-Collingwood STATION PRECINCT PLAN TABLE OF CONTENTS Table of Contents 1 Background 2 Vision and Aspirations 9 Building Type, Massing and Height 11 Land Use Policies 17 Sub-Area Policies 24 Transportation and Movement 33 Public Benefits Strategy 42 Design Guidelines 61 Appendix 69 JOYCE-COLLINGWOOD STATION PRECINCT PLAN 1 1BACKGROUND 1.1 Introduction In fall of 2014, the City initiated a review of planning policies for the area in close proximity to the Joyce-Collingwood Station. The existing Joyce Station Area Plan is over 25 years old. While the policies guided the development of large sites nearby such as the highly successful Collingwood Village, the policies did not result in the redevelopment of the smaller sites right around the station. The Station Precinct Review was launched to combine a land use update with TransLink’s planned upgrade of the Joyce-Collingwood Station to improve service, add capacity and accommodate future B Line service to UBC. In accordance with City goals, the intention of the Joyce-Collingwood Station Precinct Review, that has led to the creation of this Plan, was to consider how to intensify development on the balance of the sites around the SkyTrain station, to transform the station into a vibrant entry point for the community and to unify the neighbourhood and create a more walkable and transit-friendly place. 2 JOYCE-COLLINGWOOD STATION PRECINCT PLAN 1.2 Plan Area Figure 1.1: Comparison of Planning Area Boundaries The Joyce-Collingwood Station Precinct Plan (JC Precinct Plan) Kaslo area is compact, focuses on lots within two blocks of the Joyce- Park Collingwood station and is approximately 30 acres in area.

  • Transit Policy Report February 6, 2017
    Transit Policy Report February 6, 2017 Written by: Jael Lumba, External Affairs Research & U-Pass Commissioner Introduction In this report, data from Translink's Bus Service Performance Reviews1 and UBC Vancouver's Transportation Status Reports from 2012 to 2015 are used to identify the areas of greatest need for transit advocacy from the AMS. Translink publishes the Bus Service Performance Review annually and these reviews are used to record ridership on buses, trains and Seabuses during the fall season to analyze efficiency and identify areas for improvement to the transit system. UBC Campus and Community Planning conducts annual data collections during the fall for the Transportation Status Reports to analyze the different modes of transportation students, faculty and staff, and visitors are using to travel to and from campus. These modes of transportation include single occupant vehicles, carpools, bicycles, pedestrians, truck and motorcycles, and public transit. Ridership data of all bus routes travelling to and from UBC Vancouver, as well as advocacy recommendations to support the AMS Transit Advocacy policy are included in this document. The following are the current bus routes that serve UBC Vancouver: 4 Downtown 9 Alma 14 Hastings 25 Brentwood Station 33 29th Avenue Station 41 Joyce Station 43 Joyce Station Express 49 Metrotown Station 84 VCC-Clark Station Express 99 Broadway B-Line 480 Bridgeport Station The population is growing annually both in Metro Vancouver and at UBC Vancouver. Therefore, there is a need for the AMS to adopt a transit advocacy policy that will not only benefit UBC's commuters by advocating for improvements to transit routes servicing the campus directly but that will also benefit Metro Vancouver as a whole in recognition UBC’s connection to the region.
