Transit Future Plan

BC Transit, in collaboration with the City of Prince George, has developed the Transit Future Action Plan (TFAP).

The plan outlines several transit service delivery goals for the system within a five-year timeline. These goals include:

  • Short-term: Improving service to post-secondary institutions (slated for implementation in January 2022).
  • Short-term: Improving service on weekdays and weekends during off-peak periods.
  • Medium-term: Redesign of the 88/89 service.
  • Long-term: Service to the Prince George Airport and surrounding areas.
  • Long-term: Other route redesigns to improve directness.
The Action Plan also includes several infrastructure priorities, including:
  • Amenity improvements to bus stops including the addition of bus shelters, schedule posters, accessibility improvements, and wayfinding (on-going).
  • Amenity and capacity improvements at transit exchanges (timeline not yet established).
  • New Operations and Maintenance Facility (timeline not yet established).

The TFAP lays out several strategic priorities to make transit more appealing and more competitive with driving as the city grows. The City in partnership with BC Transit will work to improve off-peak frequencies, improve route directness, reduce travel times, create local transit plans in the Hart and College Heights, expand route coverage, and other priorities.
