- 9. Fraser Valley Transit StudyRail Analysis Extension of West Coast Express to Abbotsford Heavy Diesel Push-pull Route length: 11km 30 min peak period service Inter-urban rail line Heavy & Light Diesel Multiple Unit Trains Route length: 100km 9 new stations 30 min peak period service (some daily) 9
- 10. Fraser Valley Transit Study Rail Analysis West Coast Express Extension 40% of existing passengers are from Abbotsford Modest additional ridership with extension Cost per additional ride and service hour significantly above any other technology 10
- 11. Fraser Valley Transit StudyRailAnalysis Inter-urban Line (Surrey to Abbotsford) Would add another 75% to the annual cost of the Vision, provide less than 1% of the service hours and contribute less than 5% to the projected 2031 ridership (most of which are between Langley & Surrey) Cost per ride and per service hour is prohibitively high compared to other regional bus service options 11
- 12. Fraser Valley Transit StudyVision (30+ Years) Regional & Inter-regional Services Express bus services between Fraser Valley regional centres Express bus service connections to Metro Vancouver & planned rapid transit services 12
- 13. Rapid Transit Studies The Ministry is participating with TransLink in two rapid transit studies UBC Line Rapid Transit Study Surrey Rapid Transit Study The Ministry and TransLink are also looking at options to increase capacity on the Expo Line
- 14. UBC Line Study A short-list of 7 alternatives is being evaluated Best Bus, Bus Rapid Transit, Light Rail Transit, Rail Rapid Transit, and Combination Alternatives; Route mainly along Broadway, West 10th, and University Blvd, but with options connecting to VCC Clark Station via Great Northern Way and to Granville Island and Main Street via 1st and Arbutus Rail Corridor;
- 17. Surrey Study Technologies under consideration: Bus Rapid Transit Light Rail Transit Rail Rapid Transit
- 18. Surrey Study Focused on alternatives that: Connect directly to Surrey Centre and high growth centres and serve major activity centres Provide direct routes with higher capacity technology in areas of higher growth 10 alternatives in short-list: Best Bus 2 Bus Rapid Transit 4 Light Rail Transit 3 Rail Rapid Transit Also looking at use of Interurban Corridor
- 19. Surrey Study Alternative designs, technical work, and preliminary evaluation now underway Will provide level of detail similar to what was produced for the UBC Line Study including Estimated capital and operating costs Ridership projections Indicative travel times Preliminary evaluation and rationale More information on “Be Part of the Plan”

- Purpose of the Study:The studies primary purpose was to understand how people travel today and are forecasted to travel in the future. Understanding this would then allow us to design concepts for transit that could meet the demand forecasted. Developing a Vision for transit that is supported by local governments and stakeholders offers the best chance of success in following through on a focused, implementable transit plan for the future.Organization: The study was lead by the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure and a partnership between the Fraser Valley Regional District, BC Transit, and TransLink. The study is valued at $400K.
- The Fraser Valley generates close to 800,000 trips daily. This amount considers all modes of travel at the local, regional and inter-regional level.Only 1% of all travel is made by transit today. This modal share has remained relatively unchanged since 1994.The majority of all travel remains at the local level. By community, the trips are broken down as follows:Abbotsford: Local (280,000), Regional (33,000), Inter-regional (33,000)Chilliwack: Local (218,000), Regional (25,000), Inter-regional (11,000)Mission: Local (75,000), Regional (16,000), Inter-regional (16,000)Kent/Harrison: Local (4,200), Regional (1,200), Inter-regional (600)The largest communities make up the strongest markets in terms of travel.***Refer to Maps on Poster Boards show local, regional and inter-regional travel markets
- Transit services in the Fraser Valley cost approximately $9.5M per year to operate and maintain today. Funding for this is split between the Province at 47% and 53% funded locally through property taxes & fares.Property taxes in the Fraser Valley are amongst the lowest in the Province and for communities of similar size.Increasing transit services means additional funding will be required to support capital and operating costs.

- The Vision for local transit in all the major communities therefore involves concepts that look at a broader ranger of services versus the one conventional service universally operated in the Fraser Valley. All routes are reorganized so they are more direct, with more rapid and frequent transit routes. These are supplemented by conventional or community based transit services to lower density areas. Community transit services include a broad ranges of services (presented in an earlier slide) designed to deal with lower density corridors in a way that is more efficient than your traditional bus route.

- West Coast Express extension to Abbotsford : Services involves extending the track south by 11 km to Abbotsford 30 min peak hour only to run with existing West Coast Express serviceEstimated travel time is 11 minutes. Services involves: Relocating the existing station at MissionNew Silverdale Station Expansion of the Mission Park and Ride lot New park and ride lots in Abbotsford and Silverdale New rail storage facility in Abbotsford Transit integration strategies at station areasInter-urban rail line: Rail length from Chilliwack to Surrey is 100km. 30 min peak period service analysed so as to minimize conflict with freightEstimated transit travel time (Chilliwack to Surrey): 91 minutes. 9 new stations between Chilliwack and Scott Road inclusive 4 new park and ride lots
- Annual operating and capital costs include: right of way preparation, track work, stations,systems, grade crossings, passenger stations, utility relocations, facilities, work vehicles, equipment and tools, operation during construction. Costs not included: Property acquisition, relocation of business/residents, engineering and design, project management, owners representative, environmental impacts & mitigation, permits, community outreach, future years costs escalation, interest on debt, consulting and legal fees. Both options prove to be quite costly when compared against bus based services that would generate comparable ridership at a fraction of the overall cost. Rail based operations are only able to offer a peak period service given freight services on both the West Coast Express line and the Inter-urban line.

- At the regional and inter-regional concept level, you see a better interconnectivity between the major Fraser Valley communities of Abbotsford, Chilliwack and Mission and with Metro Vancouver. The Vision provides concepts for transit services along Highway 1 from Hope to Langley with further connections along future Rapid Bus Lines; enhanced connections between communities along Highway 11 and Highway 9, and increased connections along Highway 7 with connections to Maple Ridge and further West.
