Hamilton Transit Bus Maintenance and Storage Facility Design

The City of Hamilton has completed an Environmental Project Report in accordance with Ontario Regulation 231/08 for the Hamilton Transit Bus Maintenance and Storage Facility (MSF). The 30-day public review period ended on Sunday, February 2, 2020.

The City of Hamilton retained IBI Group to undertake the study and design a new bus maintenance and storage facility (MSF) for use by Hamilton Transit (HSR) on Birch Avenue. The purpose of the project is to increase maintenance and storage capacity for existing and new buses which are required to improve transit service across Hamilton. The facility will include a storage area, a maintenance garage, administrative offices, and staff parking.

The new facility will support mobility goals and objectives set-out in the City-Wide Transportation Master Plan (2018), Ten Year Local Transit Strategy (2015), and Rapid Ready Plan (2013).

The design work and environmental assessment are jointly funded by the City of Hamilton and Phase 1 of the Government of Canada’s Public Transit Investment Fund (PTIF).
