Interprovincial Transit Strategy

Transit services in Gatineau and Ottawa affect both riders and non-riders, notably in the downtown cores. In order to better integrate transit services and promote ridership, the National Capital Commission has launched the Interprovincial Transit Strategy. The Strategy is a collaborative effort led by the National Capital Commission (NCC), and funded in partnership with Société de transport de l’Outaouais (STO) and the City of Ottawa, with participation by the City of Gatineau.

Gatineau and Ottawa together form the National Capital Region, which shares community and economic ties independent of their geographic borders. As both the Ontario and Quebec sides of the region undergo population and employment growth, the Strategy will identify solutions to move people more easily and efficiently in and through city cores, and explore the challenges and opportunities of our current and future transit systems in delivering an interprovincial service.

The aim of the Interprovincial Transit Strategy is to reflect the commuting needs and preferences of residents in the National Capital Region. To achieve this, the consultation will target both transit users and non-users and will solicit their views on the future of our integrated transit system. Several public sessions have been planned for this year.
