Central Fraser Valley Transit Future Action Plan

Consultation has concluded

BC Transit has concluded this strategic planning process. The Central Fraser Valley Transit Future Action Plan was endorsed by Abbotsford and Mission Councils in July 2025. You can review the Engagement Summary to see the results of our consultation process, and view the final plan here.

What is a Transit Future Action Plan?

BC Transit has developed a strategic plan for the Central Fraser Valley Transit System, in partnership with the City of Abbotsford and the City of Mission. This Transit Future Action Plan (TFAP) will identify transit service improvements over the next one to seven years. This plan will focus specifically on local routes within Abbotsford and Mission, and will help guide decision-making for transit in the Central Fraser Valley.

A TFAP is a strategic planning document. It identifies improvements to transit services and describes how to make them a reality. The most recent TFAP for the Central Fraser Valley was completed in 2018. This updated plan will revisit goals and priorities and propose new options for transit service. TFAPs focus on short- to medium-term changes, with more priorities identified for the long term.

The TFAP will strengthen the link between transportation and land use in support of sustainable growth. It will uphold community goals and objectives and help inform future transportation plans.

  • Transit Service Today in the Central Fraser Valley

    Currently in the Central Fraser Valley there is service in and between the communities of Abbotsford and Mission. Additionally, route 21 Abbotsford/Aldergrove connects passengers further west to Aldergrove, which is within TransLink's service area.

    • Many services radiate out from Mission Exchange, Bourquin Exchange, and Montrose Exchange.
    • Major destinations include schools and the University of the Fraser Valley, recreation centres, hospitals, and shopping centres.
    • Service levels depend on the route, but buses generally operate from 6 AM until 10 PM during the week, with reduced service on weekends. Trips generally run every 30-45 minutes during peak periods, with less frequent service in the off-peak, or less busy times of the day. Some routes, like the 16 McMillan, 17 Industrial or 35 Hatzic provide more targeted service during peak periods and do not operate during the midday.
