Public Notices/Announcements - Windsor/Leamington - City Seeks Input on More Than Transit
Transit Windsor has launched a yearlong service review that will position the city’s bus service to meet the opportunities and challenges of 21st century transit. More Than Transit will look at how to better connect people to school, work, services, and more, and how transit can support the healthy growth and development of our neighbourhoods.
“The City of Windsor is changing and how people move around the city is changing too,” says Windsor Mayor Drew Dilkens. “We need to better understand how our transit system can more effectively serve our community moving forward.”
The current network and ridership, existing policies, objectives, service standards and performance targets, as well as system and route performance are being reviewed, along with budgets, staffing levels, fleet and facilities, and bus stop amenities including terminals.
“The entire mobility equation is transforming,” says Pat Delmore, Transit Windsor’s Executive Director. “The More Than Transit review will help Transit Windsor look to the future as a robust and adaptable mobility provider, making it an integral part of the transportation framework.”
Meetings with key stakeholder groups have already begun. Transit riders and non-riders alike are encouraged to complete an online survey that runs until December 31st. The survey, along with additional project information and a sign-up form to join the More Than Transit email list, is available at MoreThanTransit.ca. The conversation will continue throughout the project with social media #MoreThanTransit.
