The SWATP involved a comprehensive planning process that included analysis of issues and opportunities, assessment of community values, and identification and prioritization of strategies and actions. An integral part of this process was stakeholder and public engagement which is included in the following phases:

Phase 1 Involved a comprehensive analysis of local transit service and infrastructure, as well as aspects of cycling, walking, driving, and goods movement. In this phase, we gathered perspectives from the community on what’s important and opportunities to improve the current transit and transportation network.

Phase 2 Identified transit service and infrastructure priorities, as well as regional cycling priorities, to make the most of the opportunities identified in Phase 1. In this phase, we proposed changes for more than 40 routes throughout the sub-region and asked for your input to help us understand customer impacts and to identify new ideas, or suggestions. We modified many of the proposals based on public feedback in order to arrive at the recommendations included in the final plan.
