We want to hear from you. Public feedback is important to this process. For this first round of engagement, we want to gather your feedback on our initial work. The presentation materials show the preliminary route for the BRT, the identification of the pinch points (areas that are constrained by the built or natural environment) and considerations for the preliminary design of the BRT corridor. Your input will help us refine these various elements to reflect a BRT that better meets the needs of the community. Dundas Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) What is BRT? BRT provides an efficient rapid transit alternative at-grade system in a number of cities across North America (see the examples below), with the following features: • Dedicated lanes for buses, where feasible, resulting in shorter travel times and more reliable transit service • Frequent service with a bus every 5 minutes or less during peak hours • Smart signals will adapt to support smoother traffic flow for all commutes – on buses, in personal vehicles, and on bicycles • Better connections to TTC, MiWay, Oakville Transit, Burlington Transit, Hamilton Street Rail (HSR) and GO Transit routes can use the dedicated lanes and share the same stops, making it easier to travel through the region • Reliable service with buses that are separated from general traffic in most areas Where dedicated lanes are not being implemented, certain design options can be considered to optimize conditions and contribute to shorter, more efficient rides. These include: • Queue jump lanes are short, dedicated transit lanes that allow transit vehicles to bypass queues at intersections and, in combination with transit signal priority, allow buses to easily enter traffic flow in a priority position • Transit priority measures are techniques designed to minimize delays for buses at intersections and along congested roads to provide a faster, more reliable trip Canada Line BRT - Richmond, British Columbia Provo Orem BRT - Utah County, Utah Le Corbusier BRT - Laval, Québec Dundas Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) !!
