Timmins City Council has approved the development of a Timmins Transit master plan to guide service planning, investment, and policy decisions over the next 20 to 25 years. The project has been awarded to Gannett Fleming Canada ULC in the amount of $148,886.00 + HST.
The City’s public transit system supports mobility and equitable access to services across Timmins. As the City plans for sustainable growth and development, a review of the existing transit network and public transportation delivery model is necessary to ensure the service aligns with changing travel patterns, on-going ridership recovery, and existing operational pressures.
A key component of the master plan is integrated route optimization. This approach will adjust transit routes and schedules to improve the passenger experience while maximizing efficiency and reducing costs. Existing routes, schedules, frequency, and stop locations will be evaluated to ensure transit services aligns with rider demand and available resources.
Public input will play a critical role in the development of the plan. The engagement program will be accessible and inclusive, designed to reduce barriers to participation and reach residents where they are, whether it’s on the bus or at home. Engagement activities will include in-person and online opportunities, such as transit focus groups, open houses, and public surveys. Participants will be asked to share their experiences, identify challenges, and provide input on priorities for future transit service.
Further updates on the Transit Master Plan, including opportunities for public input, will be shared as the project gets underway. Visit www.timmins.ca/transit to learn more about Timmins Transit.
