Open houses, survey begin public engagement on new transit plan for Central Fraser Valley

Nov 8, 2024 | 11:07 AM

VICTORIA – BC Transit will use an online survey and host open houses throughout November to gather public feedback on bus deployment across Abbotsford and Mission in the coming years.

The provincial Crown corporation will hold four in-person events on Tuesday and Wednesday as officials begin work on a multi-year plan to replace an action plan last updated in 2018.

“This Transit Future Action Plan (TFAP) will identify transit service improvements over the next one to seven years,” the agency said in a release on Friday.

“This plan will focus specifically on local routes within Abbotsford and Mission, guiding decision-making for transit in the Central Fraser Valley.”

Transit planners say the feedback is part of an effort to “strengthen the link between transportation and land use” and direct future transportation plans.
