Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows
Area Transport Plan (ATP)
PAC Member Roles and Responsibilities
TransLink’s Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows Area Transport Plan (MR-PM ATP) involves a full review of the
transportation network in Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows. It will explore and aim to address the unique
transportation, transit, and infrastructure needs in the Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows sub-region, including
transit service and infrastructure, regional cycling, walking to transit, and driving and goods movement
as they relate to the Major Road Network (MRN).
The MR-PM ATP is a comprehensive planning process that will run for approximately two years. The
planning process includes analysis of issues and opportunities, assessment of community values, and
identification and prioritization of strategies and actions. The planning process will provide multiple
opportunities for TransLink to engage with, and receive feedback from stakeholders and the public.
As part of the engagement process for the MR-PM ATP, TransLink is establishing a Public Advisory
Committee (PAC) comprised of representatives from each city. The PAC will provide advice to TransLink
on the engagement approach and the development of the MR-PM ATP.
PAC Participants
•PAC members must live, work, and/or study in Maple Ridge, Pitt Meadows, Katzie First Nation or
Kwantlen First Nation.
•A single PAC will be formed with representatives from each city. This will allow open dialogue on
materials that relate to sub-regional/regional issues. Additionally, the committee members will be
commenting on the engagement materials and our public-facing documents, which will be the same
for both cities.
PAC Purpose
•Review public-facing documents, surveys and other public consultation materials. Focus on clarity
and understanding.
•To help inform the public engagement process and ensure the correct groups are being reached and
engaged.
Meeting Commitment
•This group will meet up to 4 times.
o March 26, 2018, from 6-8pm: before Public Consultation Round 1
o November 2018: before Public Consultation Round 2
o March 2019: after public consultation Round 2
