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 Overview for more information.
