  • APPENDIX 5 February 2013
    APPENDIX 5 February 2013 APPENDIX 5 APPENDIX 5-A Paper #5a Transit Service and Infrastructure Paper #5a TRANSIT SERVICE AND INFRASTRUCTURE This paper outlines public transit service within the Town of Oakville, identifies the role of public transit within the objectives of the Livable Oakville Plan and the North Oakville Secondary Plans, outlines the current transit initiatives and identifies future transit strategies and alternatives. This report provides an assessment of target transit modal share, the level of investment required to achieve these targets and the anticipated effectiveness of alternative transit investment strategies. This paper will provide strategic direction and recommendations for Oakville Transit, GO Transit and VIA Rail service, and identify opportunities to better integrate transit with other modes of transportation, such as walking and cycling, as well as providing for accessible services. 1.0 The Role of Transit in Oakville 1.1. Provincial Policy The Province of Ontario has provided direction to municipalities regarding growth and the relationship between growth and sustainable forms of travel including public transit. Transit is seen to play a key role in addressing the growth pressures faced by municipalities in the Greater Golden Horseshoe, including the Town of Oakville. In June 2006, the Province of Ontario released a Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe. The plan is a framework for implementing the Province’s vision for building stronger, prosperous communities by better managing growth in the region to 2031. The plan outlines strategies for managing growth with emphasis on reducing dependence on the automobile and “promotes transit, cycling and walking”. In addition, the plan establishes “urban growth centres” as locations for accommodating a significant share of population and employment growth.

This is largely due to the businesses and entrepreneurs who create jobs and to the women and men who get up each morning to go to the plant, or the office, or another place of work to make Ontario a more prosperous province. At the same time, the government has made strategic investments to support growth. Enhanced education, skills and training, new infrastructure, a competitive business environment and support for startups and small businesses are helping create good jobs. On the surface, the numbers tell a positive story: Our economy has outperformed those of all G7 nations since 2014; Our unemployment rate, at 5.5 per cent, is the lowest it has been in almost 20 years; and Last year alone, 500 net new jobs were created, on average, each day in Ontario, and they were mostly full‐time.
