BC Transit and the University of Victoria are completing a detailed evaluation of preferred locations and design concepts for a new transit exchange. The results of the evaluation will be shared with stakeholders publicly later this fall or early next year.

Thanks to those of you who attended our open house on March 17. We met with over 175 people at the SUB, and received some great written and verbal feedback.

Here’s what we heard:

  • A bus loop close to the Student Union Building (SUB) and bookstore (and planned Village Centre) is preferred, “as students consider the SUB the centre of the campus”.
  • There was support to keep major bus routes off Ring Road because of delays experienced at pedestrian crosswalks – instead, shuttle service should be operated around the campus
  • Preferred bus routes to and from UVic and on campus: route options 1 and 7 received the most support; option 5 is the least desirable (check out page 5 and 6 of the presentation boards to see the route options.)
  • Longer walking distances on campus would be acceptable if they are offset by faster transit service, more express buses and a campus shuttle
  • Reliability of service and pass-ups off campus are more of an issue than the frequency of service or walking distances on campus
  • There is a strong support for staggering class start times as a way to alleviate pass-ups and other service issues
  • Personal security is a concern at the bus loop at night, and for people walking across campus at night to the bus loop or a bus stop

UVic Campus Transit Plan

We want to hear from you.
Take the online survey now!

BC Transit is working with the University of Victoria to develop a Campus Transit Plan that takes a look at how transit works today and creates a vision for the future of transit on campus.

This comprehensive plan will identify a preferred location and design for the transit exchange, bus stops and routes to and through the campus. It will also help address pass-ups, reliability and other issues.
