Change Translink policy to make transit a viable transportation alternative for school field trips

This petition was published by Krista Tulloch on Sep 27, 2007

We, the undersigned, respectfully request that the GVTA Board make the following changes to Translink policy to make transit use a more convenient and cost-effective transportation alternative for school groups on field trips:

1)Restoration of the mid-day travel discount to allow students on pre-booked school trips to pay a single zone fare for travel throughout the GVTA region.

2)The ability to prepay for transit travel for school groups and to present a letter to transit operators rather than use tickets or cash for fares.

3)Restoration of the ‘one free’ discount for FareSaver books for students to encourage regular transit use.

4)Creation and active marketing of transit education programs for school aged students to encourage the development of a ‘transit habit’ from an early age.
