16 Benefit: 415,000 Hours of Service
17 Benefit: 9% Increase in Service Hours
18 Benefit: 10% Increase in Boardings
19 Benefit: Drop in Vehicle kms Travelled
20 Long Range Planning Agenda Achieve Sustainable Funding Maintain and Optimize the System Enhance Investment Integrate Land Use with Transport Encourage Sustainable Transportation Choices 20
21 Maintain and Optimize the System 21
22 Maintain and Optimize the System Buses serve as important data collection devices
23 Maintain and Optimize the System Automatic Passenger Counter (APC) equipped buses record passenger activity by stop, trip, time period, etc 23
24 Maintain and Optimize the System Area Transit Planning Program Key commitment from TransLink s founding Venue for municipal, stakeholder and public input into service provision by sub-region Identify a long term transit vision and ranked priorities for service and facility investments
25 Maintain and Optimize the System
26 Maintain and Optimize the System TRAVEL PATTERNS Vancouver UBC North Shore Burnaby New Westminster Northeast Sector Maple Ridge Pitt Meadows Richmond South of Fraser BOARDINGS DEMOGRAPHICS AND DEVELOPMENT
27 Range of Services Frequent Transit Network Transit Service Type Examples FTN Limited Stop w/exclusive ROW Fixed Guideway Rapid Transit Lines Nodal Development 800M (half mile) Catchment FTN Limited Stop Limited Stop Bus Lines Nodal Development 600M (3 block) Catchment FTN Local Stop Trunk Line Frequent Bus Routes Linear Development 400M (2 block) Catchment Local Stop Local Bus Routes No Specific Development 400M (2 block) Catchment
28 Integrate Land use with Transport 28
29 Integrate Land use with Transport
30 Integrate Land use with Transport Frequent Transit Network (FTN) At least every 15 min throughout the day; 7 days/week Framework for a conversation around transit and land use coordination
31 Integrate Land use with Transport What are the Benefits? More cost-effective transit service Higher quality transit service Improved public realm & livability 31
32 Integrate Land use with Transport
33 Integrate Land use with Transport DRAFT
34 Integrate Land use with Transport Newton Exchange Transit Exchange Concept Transit Exchange incorporated into neighbourhood plan TransLink works in partnership with Cities and Municipalities to integrate transit and land use

36 Integrate Land use with Transport 36
37 Encourage Sustainable Transportation Choices 37
38 Encourage Sustainable Transportation Choices Guidance for the Region s Goods Movement Strategies and Initiatives Infrastructure Space allocation Technology solutions Network optimization Operational improvements (parking; hours-of-business; signal systems) Mode shifting Vision: A Goods Movement Strategy to guide future investments and initiatives. Strategy completion by Summer 2012
39 Encourage Sustainable Transportation Choices Coverage: Every MRN and highway corridor 24-7/365 Real time map display of speed ranges for customers Image courtesy of IBI Group Regional Traffic Data System Travel time information by clicking on road segment Significant benefits for truck traffic Vision: Real time average travel speed for every major route Data used to identify bottlenecks and target investments
