In 2023, BC Transit in partnership with the City of Fort St. John is developing a Transit Future Service Plan for the community. A Transit Future Service Plan (TFSP) is a strategic document that helps guide decisions on transit service and infrastructure in the short to medium-term. The 2023 Fort St. John TFSP will focus on the core Fort St. John routes: 1 Northside, 2 Southside, 3 Central-Prospect Park, 4 Southeast, and 5 Southwest. The TFSP will present updated transit service and infrastructure priorities for Fort St. John. The TFSP will uphold community goals and objectives to strengthen the link between transportation and land use in support of sustainable growth. The TFSP will also serve to inform any future local or regional transportation plans.
Public engagement is expected to start in the spring of 2023. More information about the public engagement and how to participate to come.
What is Transit Future?
Transit Future is all about you, your transit system and your community. Developed with your input, these plans outline what your transit system will look like in the future. Depending on the community and its specific needs, a plan can take a variety of different forms.
Learn more about the different types of Transit Future Plans here. By being part of the development of a Transit Future Plan, you are helping to improve transit for yourself and for your entire community. So get involved, share your input, and be a part of shaping your transit system now and for the generation to come.
Why do we need Transit Future?
Transit Future guides transit investment that is supportive of livable communities, through:
- Offering more transportation choice
- Supporting smart land use plans that focus on walking, cycling and transit
- Meeting climate change goals
- Making it easy to access everyday services on foot, by bike and by transit
Help us Plan Your Future
Population and traffic growth means we need to shift our focus from moving cars to moving people. To minimize the high economic, environmental and social costs of traffic congestion and road expansion, we must move people more efficiently. Transportation should take us where we want to go, when we want to go there. To create an efficient system, we need your input.
