Welcome to the OC Transpo Travel Planner Only a few OC Transpo bus routes have bike racks — try planning your trip between major points, such as from one transit station to another, or specify locations which you know are close to designated “rack-and-roll” bus routes.

Urban Transportation Showcase Program An additional bus station was built at Bayview (the north end of the line) to enhance connections between the O-Train and buses along the Transitway. OC Transpo cites Ottawa Mayor Bob Chiarelli (who was the chair of the Regional Municipality of Ottawa-Carleton at the time that this project was approved) and the municipal council, as the pilot project’s main champions. In its final report to city council, OC Transpo estimated that if the O-Train were removed, the cost to purchase additional buses would take up most of the resources for growth planned in the 2003 budget. www.tc.gc.ca /programs/environment/UTSP/otrainlightrailproject.htm

Light Rail Transit Pilot Project (referred to as the LRPP) A series of Community Forums were held to obtain public input on the proposed corridor, potential station locations and elements, type of vehicles, route and service concepts, the implementation of the Pilot Project, and the draft Terms of Reference for the EA study. This rail transit network is intended to support and enhance OC Transpo's bus operations and the Transitway, which will remain the primary rapid transit system. The specific stations that are to be included in the Light Rail Pilot Project will depend on construction costs and the ridership capture projected for the potential locations. www.ene.gov.on.ca /envision/env_reg/ea/English/ToRs/rmoc_lightrail_tor.htm

C ONFIRMATION OF MINUTES Something that has become evident in their review of OC Transpo, is that more and more bus trips are to the suburban industrial and employment areas and the rail system will help facilitate some of those non-core trips better than the transitway. She stated that $16M invested in OC Transpo today is not $16M invested in the light rail pilot project. If the pilot is successful, he stated that the stations can be upgraded, however, at this time, he felt it was important to minimalize the cost as much as possible as part of the bargaining process. www.ottawa.ca /calendar/ottawa/archives/rmoc/Transportation/02Sep98/tcm02sep1.html

OC Transpo These older buses are in the museum fleet with OC Transpo, as well as a Faegol-Twin Coach bus...the 1959 GM "Old Look" preserved at the St. Laurent garage is the only one in preservation out of the Old Looks that operated in Ottawa. The OC Transpo buses are numbered in the 4000-4100-series and have clothed-and-leather seating in them. These buses were built between 2000 and 2003 and operate on the Transitway routes (routes 95 and 97) and other local routes in the Ottawa region, such as routes 1, 2, 7, 20, 31, 55, and 85. www.cleanairbus.com /transit/ontario/octranspo.html

Light Rail on Board for Next Summer The route will start at Greeenboro Station in the south end, and stop at Confederation Heights, Carleton University and near the office complexes on Carling Avenue on its trip north. The final stop on the route will be Bayview, a new transit station that will be built just west of LeBreton Flats. OC Transpo and the Region are forecasting that 6,400 riders will use the system each day during its initial stage. www.perc.ca /PEN/2000-10/s-burke.html

MINUTES Sheflin advised OC Transpo had had ridership gains of approximately 10% in June and July, bring the year to-date increase to approximately 4.23%, and this bodes well for reaching the 3% goal set for year end. The $4.6 million was granted to OC Transpo on the basis that it would achieve a 3% increase in ridership, in order to make it part of the base budget. This was achieved by issuing the weekly Transpo Express (outlining the changes) to all OC Transpo employees, employee briefings were held and special information was placed in the operator dockets. www.ottawa.ca /calendar/ottawa/archives/rmoc/Regional_Transit/01Sep99/tcm1sept.html

How to End Cross-Town Bus Chaos These routes also suffer from the other planning problem that OC Transpo has: not enough time at the end of the routes. When you look at the OC Transpo map, you see a whole bunch of black lines. There should be prominent purple lines of the transitway, and surrounding each station, there should be a knot of black lines looking somewhat like beads on a string. www.perc.ca /PEN/1998-03/s-richards.html

own25.txt?%3cD%3e Bicycle storage is relocated from the median to the areas of the transitway station, and I cautioned that such parking should not obstruct pedestrians walking along the bridge (rather than just across it) and should not add to congestion of pedestrians waiting to on-load and proceeding to off-load the transit vehicles. _Citizen_ columnist Susan Riley [94May30] took a broadside at OC Transpo and the cost and poor environment of its buses, professing that she preferred the car for longer trips, and walking for the rest. This joint report had to be developed by a remarkable eight different levels of government and public agencies - the Ottawa-Carleton and Outaouais Regional Municipalities, the National Capital Commission, both Quebec and Ontario Ministries of Transportation, OC Transpo, Outaouais Transit, and the City of Ottawa. www.ncf.carleton.ca /ip/community.associations/ottawalk/ownews/own25/own25.txt?%3cD%3e

Re: NEW OC Transpo Accessible Routes This message is a reply to Re: NEW OC Transpo Accessible Routes posted from 891 posted at July 10, 2004 at 12:43:57 The local routes 2 and 85 respectively should be covering those, and the 97 transferred to the Queensway (417) and Transitway. Bayshore is served by today's route 97 and, as I assume, it will be served by 96, before it gets back on Queensway, to follow the express route to Queensway station. users6.cgiforme.com /cptdb2/messages/24801.html

minutes48.txt That the pathway from the Bayview O-Train station to the NCC's Ottawa River pathway be built in 2003, with a pathway linking Bayview Station to the Tom Brown Arena and the community of Hintonburg in 2004. He explained that portions of Carling would be two lanes while others will be six lanes and he wondered why there would be a need to expand through this section when there is a bottleneck between March and Moodie. She suggested therefore that an OD survey be conducted in 2005, with the entire consideration of modal share numbers in the report being deferred to allow time for re-examination by staff. www.city.ottawa.on.ca /calendar/ottawa/citycouncil/ttc/2003/07-16/minutes48.txt

Print Story - canada.com network It is near the University of Ottawa as well as near a ramp to the Queensway, an OC Transpo station and the Rideau River. Earlier this year, David Jeanes, a public transit promoter with the group Transport 2000, suggested in a letter to the editor that the library should be located in Ottawa's former Union Station, a heritage building on Confederation Square that occasionally serves as a government conference centre. Dale, who is chair of the Royal Ottawa Hospital's board of trustees, points to a public/private partnership the hospital is negotiating to build a $100-million hospital on land it owns on Carling Avenue. www.opl.ottawa.on.ca /english/citizen/May10_1.htm

Darren Foulds § www.shroomAzoom.com v5.0 On the north end is Bayview, then south to Carling, under the canal to Carleton University, along to Confederation (with all the government offices) and finally Greenboro at the south. At Carleton, the track splits and there are two platforms at the station, one for the northbound train to Bayview and one for the southbound train to Greenboro. I just heard on the morning news that there is supposed to be a government announcement today of a big bundle of cash for OC Transpo, the folks who run the O Train here in Ottawa. www.shroomazoom.com /blogger/2004_05_01_archive.shtml

Railway Age: Rail is the future - Ottawa in Transit DLRT trains operate with a one-person crew over a five-mile, single-track line that serves five stations, with links to OC Transpo's Transitway system at a new Bayview station at its northern terminal and at the existing Greenboro station at the southern terminal. With a backbone Transitway system now made up of 26 stations and nearly 20 miles of exclusive busways--the most extensive such system in North America--transit operator OC Transpo's 900-bus fleet currently transports a daily average of 328,000 trips. The same route would extend east of the O-Train line 14 miles over CN right-of-way or in a semi-exclusive right-of-way in existing streets to loop north through Gloucester Center and then west through downtown Ottawa on Montreal Road and Rideau Street to a link with the present O-Train route at its Bayview terminal. www.findarticles.com /p/articles/mi_m1215/is_2_204/ai_98265135

Wendy Stewart: Report to all River Ward Community Association, April, 2001 Fares for light rail will be fully integrated with the OC Transpo fare structure. All stations will be well lit and equipped with emergency and pay phones, security cameras, and a PA system on the platform that can be addressed from the control centre, security dispatch or train operators' radios. Because this is a pilot project, stations are very basic in design with concrete platforms and unheated shelters. www.central-park.ottawa.on.ca /govt/2001-04-01.phtml

Train Scan May 2001 The Capital Railway in Ottawa is OC Transpo's foray into the light rail business. Given that similar incidents still occur (14 of them since Thamesville) of both passenger and freight trains encountering improperly-lined switches in dark territory, Transport Canada should require additional warning mechanisms to prevent this sort of situation. Some OCS areas have automatic block signals which are triggered by the presence of a train in a block ahead. www.trainscan.com /news/scan/s0105/index.html
