Revised service options based on public consultation results were developed and shared with local decision makers in October 2016 for their consideration and approval. BC Transit staff continue to work together with them on local funding approval and routing adjustments to implement transit services. More information about implementation will be shared as funding agreements are completed.
An additional area segment (Hazeltons Area to Smithers) has been added in recognition that further enhancement to existing service in this area is warranted to meet transportation needs and to bring regional services to a consistent level across the corridor. Therefore, the service area segments addressed by Highway 16 inter-community transit service initiative are as follows:
Burns Lake to Prince George
Burns Lake to Smithers
Hazeltons Area (including Moricetown) to Smithers (existing service)
For your information, below are the original August 2016 materials used for public engagement. These are now in the process of being revised based on public feedback heard. Once presented to decision makers for their consideration, it is expected that the revised proposals will be presented here.
