The Province is taking action to address TransLink’s urgent financial needs to protect transit service levels and investment plans, while providing reliable, affordable public transit that connects people to jobs, schools and essential services, enabling the transportation authority to plan for the region’s future.

The Broadway Subway Project has reached a critical phase of construction with the start of tunnel excavation to connect six new underground stations on the 5.7-kilometre extension of the Millennium Line.

Public transit is now free for all children 12 and under in B.C., saving families money, increasing access to affordable transportation options and encouraging more people to use public transit.

Sites are now being cleared to make way for the Broadway Subway Project, which will transform how people get around in one of the busiest areas of Vancouver.

People throughout B.C. will continue to have safe, reliable and affordable public transportation options, with federal and provincial confirmation that TransLink, BC Transit and BC Ferries will share more than $1 billion under the federal/provincial Safe Restart Agreement announced earlier this summer, cost-shared 50-50 by both governments.

The technical feasibility study for a high-capacity rapid transit crossing from Vancouver across the Burrard Inlet to the North Shore is complete, resulting in five potential crossing options.

People who live or work in Vancouver are closer to enjoying faster, more convenient travel, with the Government of B.C. awarding a contract to deliver the Broadway Subway.

Following a competitive procurement process, a preferred proponent team has been chosen to design, build and partially finance the Broadway Subway Project in Vancouver.
