Transit Route Study Public Information Centre-May 15

Shaping the Future of Transit: Phase Two of the City’s Route Study Moves Forward 

The City of Woodstock is continuing with the second phase of its Transit Route Study, a project designed to shape how residents move around the community for years to come. Building on months of technical analysis and early public feedback, this next stage focuses on refining route options, evaluating service improvements, and preparing to share updated concepts with the community. 

The Transit Route Study will guide future planning and investment in the system, with a strong emphasis on improving route frequency, expanding service into new and growing neighbourhoods, and creating better connections across the city.  

“As Woodstock continues to grow, the need for a more efficient, reliable, and accessible transit network has become increasingly clear. The study aims to meet that need by combining data driven analysis with meaningful community input,” said Transit Supervisor, Jeffrey Springsted. 

City staff and the project consultants have spent the past several months reviewing ridership patterns, population growth trends, and operational considerations. Early findings have helped identify opportunities to streamline routes, reduce travel times, and improve overall service reliability. Phase Two will build on this foundation by testing potential route scenarios and evaluating how well they meet the needs of current and future riders. 

A key milestone in this phase is the upcoming Public Information Centre being held in Southside Park on Fri., May 15 from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. during the midway at the Victoria Day weekend celebrations.  Residents will have the opportunity to review updated route concepts, ask questions, and share their feedback. This session will play an important role in shaping the final recommendations, ensuring the plan reflects the lived experiences of the people who rely on transit every day. 

A final report and recommendations from the Transit Route Study are expected to be brought to Council for discussion at a later date.
