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:
- 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.
- Future planning past 2025 that expands the planning horizon past the initial 2025 network transformation to ensure network resiliency as Barrie grows and changes.
- 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.
