Burnaby and New Westminster

Initiated in 2000 and finalized in 2002, the Burnaby/New Westminster Area Transit Plan was the culmination of two years of public consultation and technical analysis.

The principal objectives of the Plan were to:

• Identify short-term (one-to-three year) transit service improvements and medium-term (four-to-five year) service priorities for the Burnaby/New Westminster area, including both local service improvements within the sub-region and services connecting Burnaby and New Westminster to other parts of the region; and

• Develop a coordinated strategy amongst TransLink and affected municipalities for implementing these transit service improvements and related support measures and actions.

Near-Term Priorities

• Invest in more direct and frequent bus services

• Increase coordination between service levels, vehicle type, and local demand

• Upgrade bus stop infrastructure and transfer facilities

• Implement key transit priority measures

As Burnaby and New Westminster have continued to develop, transit service levels and investment priorities have been regularly reviewed to ensure that transportation planning and service delivery are coordinated with local land use and growing transit demand.
