As you may be aware, OC Transpo is carrying out a Network optimization process which could result in changes in service beginning September 2011.
The Ottawa Student Transportation Authority (OSTA) has held preliminary meetings with OC Transpo staff and in some cases the proposed change in service will have minimal impact on trips relied upon by students as there may be alternate transfers or trips available. However, there will be some cases where families and students may see a serious impact.
The OSTA staff are currently reviewing these proposals and where appropriate will be raising our concerns with OC Transpo.
More information can be obtained on the proposals at:
http://www.octranspo1.com/routes/2011_network_optimization. Each of the area proposals has its unique feedback form.
Please note that the last public consultation meeting is tonight, April 5 at the Shenkman Arts Centre, 245 Centrum Blvd., Orleans from 7pm-9pm.
If you have any questions or concerns please contact the OSTA office at (613) 224-8800.
