Trail, British Columbia, February 15, 2024 — The existing transit exchange in Trail, within the West Kootenay Transit System, will undergo refurbishment and expansion thanks to a combined investment of more than $3.07 million from the governments of Canada, British Columbia, and the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary.

Announced by Minister Harjit S. Sajjan, Minister Katrine Conroy, Mayor Colleen Jones, and BC Transit CEO Erinn Pinkerton, this project will ensure that the transit exchange is prepared to support new bus routes and expanded service levels as the community continues to grow and ridership volume increases.

The expanded facility will include six concrete bus pads capable of accommodating standard capacity buses. This upgrade will improve the arrival and departure process at the transit exchange, supporting future ridership volumes. Improvements include new bus shelters, benches, shelter lighting, bicycle racks, and an operator washroom facility for transit employees. Additionally, sidewalks will be widened, along with the resurfacing and painting of streets and crosswalks to improve passenger safety and accessibility.

Investing in public transit infrastructure creates more inclusive communities and enhances the quality of life for users of transit services by ensuring that everyone is connected to housing, jobs, services, amenities, and their greater communities.
