Transit Future

What is Transit Future?

Transit Future is all about you, your transit system, and your community. Developed with your input, these plans outline how your transit system will grow and evolve in the coming years in response to changing ridership, community priorities, population growth, and a number of other factors that BC Transit planners consider in the creation of these plans. 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 a Transit Plan’s development, you are helping to improve transit service for yourself and your community.

Why do we need Transit Future?

It is important that we consider the Transit Future of our communities because of factors such as climate change, affordability, population growth, increasing traffic congestion, and an aging demographic. Effective planning is critical to ensure that sustainable transportation goals are achieved. Transit planning guides investments that are supportive of livable communities, through:

• Offering more transportation choices
• Supporting smart land use plans that focus on accessing services by walking, cycling, and transit
• Minimizing the high economic, environmental and social costs of traffic congestion and road expansion
• Meeting climate change goals
