“Our initiatives this winter are focused on increasing safety and customer communication at stations, bus exchanges, and throughout our online channels,” said TransLink CEO Kevin Desmond.

“We’ve learned from previous seasons and have been working hard to ensure customers are kept informed of any significant delays or issues on our system.”

Here are some of the things TransLink has done and plans to do, to keep riders on track this winter.

Communication

• New electronic display screens and speakers have been installed or upgraded at many stations, allowing for easy distribution of warnings and notices.

• New touchscreen transit kiosks have been set up at stations around the TransLink system to provide riders with information.
