The municipality is inviting residents to share feedback on Halifax Transit.
People living in the Halifax Regional Municipality are encouraged to review the proposed transit plan and complete an online survey.
The municipality is seeking input on bus routes that need more frequent service, individual travel habits, new and modified routes, and long-term transit initiatives.
The survey will remain open until Sept. 28. Responses will help shape the municipality’s 2025–27 Core Service Plan and Strategic Roadmap, which is launching this year. The plan aims to support the growth of the transit system and ensure it meets the community’s needs.
The survey and additional information are available at shapeyourcityhalifax.ca.
These plans will help focus transit needs within the provincial capital and help direct needs to the province, which is undertaking a first-of-its-kind plan in Atlantic Canada.
The Nova Scotia blueprint lays out multiple things the governments plan on doing over the next 20 years and beyond. It aims to plan specific infrastructure interventions and increase public transportation options to better the movement of goods and people, specifically through the peninsula.
Some of the key ideas include:
- Options for harbour crossings
- Improvements to Highway 102 between exits 0 and 4,
- Improvements to Highway 101 Connector
- A Rapid Transit Network
- Connecting inter-municipal transit services
- Studies on light rail transit and rail
The goal is to understand capacity on corridors, buses and bridges.
