Transit Study Participants Needed

COWICHAN VALLEY – The Cowichan Valley Regional District (CVRD) and BC Transit are looking for volunteers to form a community stakeholder group to participate in a transit study.

The study aims to review the existing paratransit network in rural and low-density areas in the South Cowichan Valley and the Cowichan Lake area, to identify potential opportunities to improve the quality of service, and to consider cost-reducing options such as flexible routes or on-demand services.

The first round of two community stakeholder group meetings is scheduled for July 16th, 2013. There are two available times and locations for workshop participants, the Cowichan Lake Sports Arena from 1 pm to 3:30 pm or the Kerry Park Recreation Centre in the Dennis Mclean room from 5:30 pm to 8 pm.

Interested participants are asked to pre-register at cvrdparatransit@bctransit.com or contact Rob Williams with the CVRD at 250·746·2530.
