A 40-foot decommissioned bus transformed into an interactive public consultation tool with a draft of the 25 year transit plan has been on tour since Sept. 10.
The opportunity for residents to get a better view of the Transit Future Plan was given last Wednesday by Steve Harvard, Regional Transit Manager - Southern Interior and transit representatives who were on hand to answer questions.
The plan is a partnership between BC Transit, the Regional District of Okanagan Similkameen (RDOS) and member municipalities who are working towards the development of a 25 year future plan to try to meet the growing needs for transit in the South Okanagan-Similkameen.
Public consultation is the first part of the plan. With the tour, BC Transit is helping residents to learn more about public transit and are gathering information from residents to learn more about community needs.
Together with the communities input and the existing plans, options and ideas for service will be put together.
During the Spring of 2014 BC Transit will go on tour again visiting the communities to show residents the options and to get feedback as well as thoughts on how they should be prioritized.
