The NSATP was a three-phase process that occurred between 2010 and 2012.
Phase 1 involved a comprehensive technical analysis of the local transit network design, travel patterns, land use and other local conditions. Stakeholders, transit operators and the public also provided their perspectives on the opportunities to improve the current transit network.
Phase 2 focused on obtaining input from stakeholders and the public on transportation priorities. This feedback, along with a technical analysis, contributed to the development of a 30-year vision for transit in the North Shore, out to 2040.
Phase 3 identified near-term transit service and infrastructure priorities to address the issues and make the most of the opportunities identified in Phase 1 and build toward the long-term vision from Phase 2 of the NSATP.
The next step includes regularly tracking the status of the plan and reporting back on progress.
