2012 Business Plan
The 2012 Business Plan is the second of four annual OC Transpo Business Plans to be received by the Transit Commission over this term of City Council. These plans fully support the transportation and mobility framework as set out in the current Term of Council priorities.
The plan documents progress toward a more effective and efficient transit system in Ottawa, provides an integrated view of proposed initiatives for coming years, and gives Council an opportunity to review and renew the Transit Commission's direction in line with City Budgets.
