We’re transforming regional transportation
Connecting communities through regional transportation
When it comes to regional transportation, the Southeast Regional Service Commission is committed to increasing transportation accessibility, affordability and availability to support residents and regional visitors through a connected set of regional transportation providers working individually and collectively as a coordinated, user-facing network.
One role of the Southeast Regional Service Commission is to coordinate and support long term regional transportation planning efforts among constituent communities and stakeholders within the Southeast Region to inform infrastructure, service, and policy development that fosters safe, accessible, efficient and affordable mobility.
This may include background studies, citizen engagement, surveys and data collection, analysis, forecasting, and travel demand modelling. The SERSC may also support the development of regional mobility solutions and programming. Improvements to regional transportation service delivery will benefit residents and regional visitors.
Opportunities for Regional Transportation Planning Collaboration for the Southeast Region: Priorities and Projects
As part of an exercise to better understand transportation needs and priorities across our region, in late 2023 we received input from all 13 communities and 8 stakeholders in our region. The Regional Transportation Committee met with Trevor Hanson, Professor at UNB who identified Opportunities for Regional Transportation Planning Collaboration for the Southeast Region: Priorities and Projects based on the comments and feedback received.

The priority initiatives identified, include:
Early wins:
- Regional accessible and on-demand transportation (some preliminary work already done)
Other studies that can be done in parallel with regional involvement:
- Regional active transportation planning
- Regional post-secondary education travel demand
- Regional tourism and seasonal employment transportation
- Regional airport ground transportation and transit service development
- Regional health transportation travel demand
