Help shape the future of Halifax Transit: Share your thoughts on the Core Service Plan 2025-2027 and Strategic Roadmap.

Halifax Transit is inviting residents to provide their feedback on the next chapter of transit planning in the municipality to ensure our transit system evolves with the region's growth and the needs of our diverse communities.

• The Core Service Plan outlines efficient and targeted improvements to our core transit services, ensuring we meet the immediate needs of riders.
• The Strategic Roadmap is an ongoing strategic planning process to follow the Core Service Plan that will include a range of strategic initiatives including:
  • analyzing the factors that impact on service reliability
  • opportunities for On-Demand and Microtransit services in the region
  • planning the integration of Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) within the current network
  • developing standards which guide upgrades and expansion of transit infrastructure

Together, the Core Service Plan and Strategic Roadmap will create a clear and actionable plan, helping us deliver a transit system that is both responsive and future ready. See Strategic Roadmap Fact Sheet for more information.

There are various ways you can get involved, including:

• Terminal and on-bus pop-up events: Participate in pop-up events at terminals or on your bus to ask questions and provide feedback directly to Halifax Transit planners and other members of our team.
• Talk to us directly: Call 311 or email TransitPlanning@halifax.ca to share your thoughts with our team, or to ask questions about this project.
• Learn about other municipal strategies and plans: Our team uses other municipal plans when making transit planning decisions. These strategies and plans include:
  • Regional Plan
  • Integrated Mobility Plan
  • Rapid Transit Strategy

How will we use your feedback?

We'll use your feedback and data we've collected about the system to help inform transit changes. We'll also look at key performance measures such as:

• the number of passengers on services throughout the network
• how many passengers get on or off a bus at a stop
• the number of times the bus is too full to pick up more passengers
• how often the bus arrived on time

From there, we’ll present your feedback and this data to Regional Council in a “What We Heard” report. Feedback will also be incorporated when preparing the Core Service Plan 2025–27.
