York Region Transit Will Host Public Information Centres
On Tuesday, August 23, 2011, York Region Transit (YRT/Viva) will host a public information centre at Al Palladini Community Centre to discuss the YRT/Viva 2012 Service Plan. The session is scheduled from 5 to 7 p.m. and residents are encouraged to attend and provide their input.
YRT/Viva is assessing all routes and services and recommending changes in each municipality in order to ensure that they continue to provide efficient and effective services. Public information centres are scheduled in each York Region municipality. The public information centres will also give residents a better understanding of YRT/Viva’s operations and the strategies that will be implemented in the upcoming year.
York Region Transit was formed in 2001 with the amalgamation of four local municipal transit systems. It has grown from 57 routes and 7.68 million revenue riders to 121 routes, including five Viva Bus Rapid Transit routes, throughout the nine municipalities of York Region. The system serves approximately 73,000 passengers daily and is projected to carry over 21 million revenue riders by the end of 2011.
