Future for Transit Service in Prince Rupert up for presentation tonight

With one presentation under their belts, that one for Port Edward in January, representatives from BC Transit will appear at tonight's Prince Rupert Council session, set to provide a look at the blue print ahead for Transit service for the community.

The presentation, which will take place as part of the Committee of the Whole portion of the night will offer up a glimpse at a number of themes.

Included on the list a look at how BC Transit views the future for transit and some of the initiatives that they will be introducing.

Where the service is at today will also be of some note, with a snapshot of the level of transit usage from 2020-21

The documentation that has been included as part of their presentation looks at the current population demographics for the city and how that impacts on the need for transit in the community. 

A look at some past performance,  BC Transit's COVID response program and how they have engaged with the public in recent years also makes for some of the night ahead.

BC Transit will also share some of the priorities that they have heard of from the public when it comes to Transit service.
