Launch of Transit Route Review Phase 2 consultation

Peterborough Transit has launched the next public consultation phase in the Transit Study. Three route network options have been developed for feedback by customers. A survey is available and two virtual town hall presentations are scheduled over the next two weeks.

The Transit Route Review, which is one part of the comprehensive Transit Study, is evaluating how transit services and the route network should evolve to reduce travel times, provide better connections to destinations for customers, and set up the transit system to support long-term growth.

Feedback collected through the public consultation will be reviewed as part of the development of route network recommendations that are expected to go to City Council in late spring. The recommendations to Council will include a timeline for implementation. The route network options map and the survey are available online at connectptbo.ca/transit. Paper copies of the maps and survey can be picked up at the Transit Terminal, 190 Simcoe St. The survey is open from Friday, February 12 until 9 p.m. on Friday, February 26, 2021.

The online maps posted for review are interactive, allowing users to drop pins on the map to highlight areas for comment and add their feedback.

The virtual town hall presentations will be held online and by telephone from 1:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. on Thursday, February 18 and from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday, February 24.

The virtual town halls will include a presentation on the three route network options and an opportunity for the Transit Study team to answer questions. Participants attending a town hall online will be able to type in questions for the panel. Participants attending by phone will need to submit questions before the town hall through the Ask a Question section at connectptbo.ca/transit, by calling our dedicated Transit Study phone line at 705-933-4756, or by sending an email to transitstudy@peterborough.ca. Questions and answers will be posted after the meeting at connectptbo.ca/transit.
