Learn about upcoming transit improvements and Help shape the future of transit in the South Okanagan-Similkameen
SOUTH OKANAGAN-SIMILKAMEEN- BC Transit, the Regional District of South Okanagan-Similkameen, City of Penticton, Town of Princeton, and the District of Summerland are seeking the public’s feedback on how to improve transit across the South Okanagan-Similkameen region.
BC Transit is asking for input from the public to identify transit priorities to help develop a Transit Future Action Plan, which will support transit decision-making, service and infrastructure improvements. BC Transit is hosting open houses across the region on Wednesday, November 24, and Thursday November 25.
The Transit Future Action Plan will provide a vision and implementation strategy for improving the region’s transit network in the short to medium term.
Feedback gathered through both the in-person engagement sessions and the online survey will help BC Transit to develop a Transit Future Action Plan for the region. Members of the public unable to attend in-person are invited to provide their feedback through the online survey available at engage.bctransit.com/southokanagan2021 until December 14, 2021. In-person locations and dates are listed below and will follow all COVID-19 protocols as per the open house location.
