This Barrie Transit Vision project involves building a blueprint for growing our existing transit system to best meet the needs and goals of today’s city, while developing a long-term plan for a future network.

Building on previous work that laid the foundation for the Transportation Master Plan (specifically for Transit), Transit Vision focuses on creating:

  1. A New Transit Network that reflects a wholistic evaluation of the existing transit network and incorporates changes to improve mobility for Barrie residents while maintaining operational cost-neutrality from existing funding. Phase 1 of the new network launched on June 2, 2024. Phase 2 implementation is expected to be complete in 2025.
  2. Future planning past 2025 that expands the planning horizon past the initial 2025 network transformation to ensure network resiliency as Barrie grows and changes. 
  3. A Bus Stop Infrastructure Plan to align new bus stops and bus stop improvements (accessibility, repair, concrete pads, bus shelters, bike racks, benches, etc) with the new network and future development.
