Future Service Planning
PLAN09 is part pf the annual planning cycle whereby YRT staff prepare a transit service plan for the upcoming year. Criteria for the plan are based on an evaluation of the current transit services and overall Regional Transit objectives. Regular and ongoing communications with the general public, key community groups, individual businesses and business groups, school boards, area municipalities, elected representatives and customers is vital both to hear about issues and areas of concern and to provide valuable information and education.
The YRT/Viva PLAN09 will be the guideline for next year’s transit planning activities and budget and will be provided to all stakeholders including those mentioned above for feedback and comments on future services.

Final 2008 Service Plan
The annual planning cycle is an approach whereby YRT staff prepare a transit service plan for the upcoming year, based on an evaluation of the current transit services and overall Regional Transit objectives. The plan is provided to stakeholders, including school boards, customers, residents, various businesses, individual local municipalities, Transportation Management Associations (TMAs), TTC, GO Transit, Brampton Transit and Durham Region Transit, for comment.
As part of the consultation process, YRT staff held Public Information Centres (PICs) on June 26th and 28th, 2007, for both northern and southern York Region, respectively. Feedback was collected and considered by YRT staff and integrated where feasible, into a final Service Plan for the upcoming year. YRT staff develop a collective and comprehensive plan that meets the needs of stakeholders and assists in the growth of transit's market share.

You can also ask questions and discuss the proposed plans with YRT staff. We look for the following feedback from you:
