Virtual Transit Chat - May 13, 2020

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the regularly scheduled Transit Commission meetings for the months of March, April, and May were cancelled. The City's primary focus is on its response to the COVID-19 pandemic, however, it is vital that important discussions on other business, including public transit proceed to ensure that members of Council, the Transit Commission and the public are afforded the opportunity to receive vital information and updates and to provide direction, where appropriate. 

In response to the cancellation of the scheduled Transit Commission meeting in May, Citizen Transit Commissioner Sarah Wright-Gilbert hosted a Virtual Transit Chat (via Zoom) to hear directly from OC Transpo customers and Ottawa residents about their concerns and questions related to public transit in Ottawa. 

The Virtual Transit Chat took place on May 13, 2020, and was attended by approximately 60 individuals.

Below you will find a report on "What We Heard" during the Virtual Transit Chat.
