Residents who are invited to weigh on Halifax Transit changes
The municipality seeks input on Halifax Transit
The regional municipality of Halifax is reaching out to residents for feedback on the proposed transit plan. They are inviting people to participate in an online survey to help shape the future of Halifax Transit.
What feedback is needed?
The municipality is particularly interested in hearing about bus routes that may need more frequent service, individual travel habits, suggestions for new or modified routes, and long-term transit initiatives.
The survey will be open for responses until September 28th. The input gathered will be used to inform the 2025–27 Core Service Plan and Strategic Roadmap, which is set to be launched later this year. This plan aims to support the growth of the transit system and ensure it meets the needs of the community.

Regional Transportation Plan for Halifax
The province of Nova Scotia is also working on a Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) that focuses on the Halifax region. This plan outlines various infrastructure projects and public transport improvements to enhance mobility.
Key initiatives mentioned in the RTP include:
- Enhancing port transitions
- Improving Highway 102 between exits 0 and 4
- Upgrades to the Highway 101 Connector
- Development of a rapid transit network
- Integration of inter-municipal transit services
- Exploration of light rail and rail transport options
The overall goal of the plan is to assess the capacity of transportation corridors, buses, and bridges in the Halifax region.
