Have you ever ridden Huntsville Transit? If not, you’re not alone. Not by a long shot.<\/p>\n

The service has limited ridership, in part due to routes that don’t extend beyond the urban core of Huntsville, in part due to the inaccessibility of some stops, and in part due to a schedule that only passes each stop once every two hours.<\/p>\n

Huntsville’s bus service runs six days per week<\/a><\/span> and with a total of 28,593 rides in 2016, averaged 91 rides per day. It’s not known how many of those rides were return trips, nor how many individual riders there were. Those rides netted $28,245.89 in fares. The remainder of transit revenue comes from the Provincial Gas Tax, with the Town providing funding to address any shortfall.<\/p>\n

In 2018, Huntsville will receive $94,688 from the Provincial Gas Tax, which is down for the third year in a row \u2014 the Town received $114,976 in 2017 and $146,000 in 2016. Bracebridge, which launched transit service in 2016, will receive $136,600, up from $130,541 in 2017. The funding is based on both population and ridership.<\/p>\n

<\/broadstreet-zone><\/strong><\/div>\n

Of the transit rides in 2016, 6,749 were part of the conventional modified (or specialized) service which provides “origin to destination” service for, but is not limited to, people with disabilities or those who have difficulty accessing the conventional bus. The specialized service is available Monday through Friday and requires booking 24 hours in advance.<\/p>\n

Plans are in the works to improve the overall system, but what exactly it will look like is still up in the air.<\/p>\n

At a special General Committee meeting on December 7, 2017, staff presented a report recommending a consultant to review the system. “As there has been much discussion around the possible expansion of the existing bus service<\/a><\/span> and the best method to provide door to door service for those in need, staff are now of the opinion that the scope of the initial transit service review has grown to a point that it would be best to obtain the service of a Transit Service consultant to conduct a full review and provide options for council consideration,” noted the report.<\/p>\n

“Regarding staff doing (a new) study, we did start it and realized once we got into it, it was way beyond what staff could do,” added Town CAO Denise Corry. “It was time consuming and we really didn\u2019t have that expertise.”<\/p>\n

The suggestion for the consultant came from the Accessibility Advisory Committee (AAC). The AAC Chair, Debbie Kirwin, was at the meeting to explain the rationale to councillors.<\/p>\n

The results (of the 2016 transit survey) reflected that there is a need to extend the routes and now. It also shows an abysmal number of people using transit to travel to work. Transit is a community service. It should accommodate the needs of everyone.
\nDebbie Kirwin, chair of the Accessibility Advisory Committee<\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

She noted that if a rider misses the bus, “it becomes impossible to stand around for the next bus\u2026 a two hour wait in the winter without shelter isn\u2019t an option. There is a great opportunity to increase ridership.”<\/p>\n

As for accessibility, both bus design and who a specialized service would be available for needs to be considered, Kirwin said. Huntsville’s current buses use hydraulic lifts whereas newer buses use an extendable access ramp, “which decreases the time to board and disembark. Also consider how much easier it would be for seniors with canes or walkers, parents with strollers and people with groceries (to board the bus).”<\/p>\n

But the current conventional modified system is expensive, added Kirwin, costing three to four times per rider what the conventional bus does. Although the service has technically been open to everyone, it wasn’t intended that way, she said.<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s not for everyone with a disability, it\u2019s those who can\u2019t use the other bus. The other bus is accessible but the bus stops are so far apart and there is no shelter at the bus stops,” said Kirwin. “It\u2019s an expensive way to go… As the demographic gets bigger with aging society, (ridership is) going to increase substantially, but you want to keep the costs down.” Her included report added, “‘Origin to destination’ service was not designed to provide an inexpensive taxi service to the entire community.”<\/p>\n

Finally, she suggested that before the Town looks at expanding the service to outer areas, it should be improved in Huntsville’s urban core first.<\/p>\n

The Town recently received federal funding via the Public Transit Infrastructure Fund for a project to improve the sidewalks at bus stops and passenger waiting areas. The Government of Canada is providing $51,000 toward the project, with the municipality providing a matching amount. But more work would be needed to make the stops more accessible and appealing, including the addition of shelters.<\/p>\n

Both the Official Plan and the Unity Plan speak to transit service and the need to maximize the benefits in the urban area. Personally I can\u2019t see service to the rural area without having a strong, first-class, dependable service in the urban area.
\nDebbie Kirwin, chair of the Accessibility Advisory Committee<\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Councillor Jonathan Wiebe agreed. “Before we expand we should make the service in the urban core really good and really viable,” he said. “It should almost be the type of thing where because it\u2019s so good it makes so much sense to expand and it\u2019s really going to become very desirable for a lot of people in those expansion areas.”<\/p>\n

But Mayor Scott Aitchison noted, “We\u2019ve opened a larger can of worms. One of the things we heard at the (transit) open house was from the resort and hotel community that were interested in seeing if there was a way we could have a service available that their staff could use, particularly housekeeping. They indicated that a lot of those folks live just north of Huntsville. Affordable housing opportunities exist north of Huntsville\u2026 Parry Township is growing because there are opportunities to work in Huntsville but they can\u2019t afford to live here.”<\/p>\n

Can we use the transit service not just as a social service but as an economic development tool? As a tool that can help the resort community and help the people who need to live just outside our boundaries but work here?
\nMayor Scott Aitchison<\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Deputy Mayor Karin Terziano added that before the Town hires a consultant, it needs to address some of its policies and procedures in house.<\/p>\n

“If we are going to write an RFP, we need to focus in on what we need,” agreed Director of Operations and Protective Services, Steve Hernen. “Do we want a one hour loop, do we want a two hour loop? Do we want to go out to Novar, to Port Sydney? Those are the things council is going to have to make some decisions on because if we just go out for an RFP for somebody to design a bus system, you are going to end up with a mixed bag of fruit and we\u2019re all going to be sitting here trying to figure out what to do again.”<\/p>\n

Staff were directed to add a consulting fee of $20,000 to the 2018 Draft Transit Budget for Budget Committee consideration to complete a full review of the existing transit services and potential options for expansion. If approved, the cost would be funded through transit reserves.<\/p>\n
