Campbell River Council has endorsed the final draft of the Transit Future Action Plan and referred short-term actions from the plan to upcoming Financial Planning deliberations.

BC Transit, in partnership with the City, is developing an action plan for Campbell River.

The plan identifies transit service and infrastructure improvements over the next seven years and sets short- to medium-term priorities that will guide the continued development and enhancement of transit services in the community.

The TFAP aims to improve transit service through enhanced service reliability; increased frequency and access on core routes and key corridors; extended service hours; expanded coverage to underserved areas; and aligning transit planning with broader growth and housing initiatives.

Short-term priority focus areas include:

• Service improvements for Route 1 (Dogwood) to address peak capacity, reliability, and on-time performance
• Introduction of service on statutory holidays (at Sunday service levels)
• Service improvements on existing routes and thru-connections to Route 15 (Homalco), via Route 1 (Dogwood), on select trips and the introduction of Sunday service.
• Expansion priorities and associated costs will be considered during upcoming Financial Planning.
