What Are The Objectives?

Community Objectives

• The transit system should be developed to support the goals outlined in the Regional District's Growth Management Plan and in municipal Official Community Plans.
• While provision of bus service is certainly its primary function, transit should also be involved in other strategies to reduce automobile use.
• There should be improved integration between the accessible conventional and custom transit systems as well as with school buses, bikes, ferries and other modes.

• Reduce automobile dependence and encourage 'choice' riders to use transit by providing service quality that is competitive with the private automobile through the following initiatives:
• Reduce the need for transferring by providing more direct service between major activity centres;
• Provide more frequent service on existing corridors in order to reduce waiting and transfer times;
• Examine the potential for new service types for travel within and between major town centres.
• Improve for passengers and reduce emphasis on cash-based fares by making pass rates more attractive and more competitive with driving costs;
• Make using transit easier, safer, and more comfortable by improving passenger facilities including bus shelters, lighting, information signs, and transit exchanges.

• Use Key Performance Indicators to set specific targets for transit system performance. These targets will ensure that efficient use is made of resources in order to maximize customer service and minimize subsidization. The Key Performance Indictors will measure both financial performance and ridership performance.
