Transit System: South Okanagan-Similkameen
BC Transit and its regional partners* are seeking input from residents to help identify transit priorities for the next five years. These proposed improvements could be included in the 2022 South Okanagan-Similkameen Transit Future Action Plan, which will support transit decision-making regarding service and infrastructure improvements. A similar engagement took place in late 2021, but this happened during the onset of the Omnicron variant and severe weather events, both of which may have limited public participation.
Paper copies of the survey are being sent through the mail to residents in Summerland, Princeton, Kaleden, Okanagan Falls and West Bench. The paper surveys can be dropped off at the Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen head office at 101 Martin Street or handed in to transit operators.
You can also fill out the survey online at engage.bctransit.com/southokanagan2022 until July 29, 2022.
BC Transit is requesting some demographic information as part of this survey to apply Gender Based Analysis Plus (GBA+). GBA+ looks at not only gender, but also other intersecting identity factors such as age, race and disability to understand how different groups and individuals may experience policies, programs and initiatives. Collecting this information will help BC Transit make service decisions by considering multiple perspectives in transit planning
