Northeast Sector

The Northeast Sector Area Transit Plan was developed through a three-phase planning process that occurred between 2013 and 2015.

By 2045, residents regard transit in the Northeast Sector as convenient, comfortable, and easy to use. As a result, transit in the Northeast Sector is well-used, helping to promote healthy people and communities, a healthy economy, and a healthy environment.

These are needed over the next 10 years to help achieve this vision:

• More direct connections to destinations

• Changes to the C40, 151, 152, 153, and 159 bus routes

• More frequent bus service between key destinations

• New all-day frequent service (Frequent Transit Network or FTN) between Port Coquitlam Centre and the SkyTrain at Coquitlam Central

• New bus services to serve developing areas

• New services in Burke Mountain, Dominion Triangle, Freemont Village, and connections to Surrey

• Better integration of transit, walking and cycling

• Improving access to local SkyTrain stations

The map on page 7 of the Phase 3 Summary Report shows the 19 recommended near-term priorities.

The Northeast Sector Area Transit Plan is a living document. Proposed priorities and transit service levels are regularly reviewed to ensure transportation planning continues to be coordinated with land use and growing transit demand.

We'll continue to provide more information on how we're progressing to meet the goals, objectives, and recommendations of the plan as we move forward.
