The University of British Columbia’s (UBC) Vancouver Campus is a major regional hub that sees around 80,000 transit trips a day. On this tour, you will visit and experience the UBC Transit Exchange and the surrounding University Boulevard Precinct. Learn how UBC and its partners worked to re-imagine this focal point of the campus to deliver an integrated program of transit infrastructure accommodating over 1,000 transit buses each day, student housing, and other campus amenities, while optimizing space, providing a consistent user experience, and connecting to other modes like bikeshare, carshare, and ride-hailing. Hear about the ongoing work to ready UBC Vancouver for future rapid transit and steps being taken to become a true “transit-oriented campus”.
