BC Transit, in partnership with the City of Powell River and qathet Regional District, is developing a strategic plan for the future of the Powell River Regional Transit system. This Plan will identify transit service improvements and infrastructure improvements over the next one to seven years. As part of this Plan BC Transit is considering designing entirely new bus routes for Powell River. We will be looking for rider and community participation at two key stages in the project.
Phase 1 Online and Paper* Survey - December 3 - December 20, 2024 NOW CLOSED.
Phase 2 Events - Spring 2025
December 23 2024: Thank you for your participation in the Phase 1 Online and Paper Survey. The survey is now closed.
The iPad draw will be held in early January and an engagement summary will be posted at the end of January.
In addition to conducting the Phase 1 Survey to understand travel patterns and community values related to transit use, BC Transit staff is:
Reviewing transit use: How well used bus routes are at different times of day and times of the year; what travel demand patterns indicate.
Reviewing operations: How on-time or off-schedule bus routes are:
Working with local government staff to:
understand how Powell River is changing and what parts of the community will need consideration for adjusted service based on growth projections
understand capital and roadworks plans that may influence transit service opportunities.
BC Transit is also continuing it's pilot in On-Demand transit and the OnDemand Team is beginning to explore Zunga patterns.

We are doing this survey to learn more about travel habits and needs of residents in your area. Your participation matters even if you do not use transit right now. This survey will help planners to understand and community and transit rider needs and priorities, which could benefit you in the future.
