UPCOMING PUBLIC CONSULTATIONS ON THE
INTERPROVINCIAL TRANSIT STRATEGY
The Interprovincial Transit Strategy is entering the fourth phase of consultation. During this
phase, stakeholders and members of the public will have several opportunities to provide their
viewpoints and input into the potential solutions for improving interprovincial transit in the
National Capital Region.
On Tuesday, July 6 and Wednesday, July 7, public consultations will be held in Ottawa and
Gatineau, respectively. The Study Team will be soliciting input on a number of options identified
under five transportation ²Pillars.² These are the guiding principles of the Strategy that emerged
throughout the consultation program as priority issues to improve interprovincial transit. The five
Pillars are: User Focus, Operations, Infrastructure, Transit City Building and Governance.
The communities of Ottawa and Gatineau — from transit users, commuters, local businesses,
homeowners, employers, community groups and other organizations — are invited to review
information boards, consult with the Strategy Team and provide comment on the proposed
interprovincial transit solutions that will satisfy the short, medium and long term perspectives up
to the year 2031.
The following are the public consultation event dates, times and locations:
