STAGE ONE: IDENTIFY THE ISSUE(S)


Initiatives were proposed to encourage people to access more public transport.

Safety concerns for diverse populations (e.g., seniors, etc.) are not clearly identified as a priority concern. The experience of these individuals are potentially different for various populations - for example, seniors, women and girls have specific safety concerns that need to be considered, such as fear of assault when accessing public transport after dark.


14




STAGE THREE: GATHER FACTS (RESEARCH AND CONSULTATION)


Public transport is cost effective, environmentally friendly and reduces road congestion.

Consultations are planned through face-to-face focus groups with commuters, online consultations, telephone surveys after hours when commuters have returned home after work, and door-to-door researchers visit in selected neighbourhoods.

STAGE THREE: GATHER FACTS (RESEARCH AND CONSULTATION)


Public transport is cost effective, environmentally friendly and reduces road congestion.

Consultations are planned through face-to-face focus groups with commuters, online consultations, telephone surveys after hours when commuters have returned home after work, and door-to-door researchers visit in selected neighbourhoods.

New immigrants to Canada (e.g., refugees) are more likely to use buses, taxis and community transport as they are less likely to be able to afford a car and have fewer drivers’ licenses. However safety concerns might discourage some individuals to access public transport especially after dark.

When engaging with these populations several factors are important (for example):

- Possibilities of child care provision could be explored during face-to-face consultations

- Timing of consultation (i.e., no telephone surveys around dinner time)

GBA+ KEY POINTS*

○ Process for policy / program / service development cycle is explicitly diverse populations aware

○ Produce outcomes that are inclusive of and responsive to the needs and issues of these diverse populations

○ What assumptions are you making?○ Who could be left behind?○ Who did you engage / consult?○ What disaggregated data did you review?○ How are you ensuring equality of outcomes?

○ Not an additional step to be added on later in the development cycle process - from the start
