British Columbians need efficient and affordable public transit to get them to work or school on time and back home safely at the end of the day.

Investing in transportation infrastructure is critical to connecting communities, helping businesses compete and creating a strong economy and middle class.

Significant highway improvements in Sooke and Langford on Vancouver Island will soon make the commute safer, faster and more reliable for the thousands who drive, cycle and take transit along these major corridors every day.

People in coastal communities are benefiting from improved ferry service, including 2,700 additional round trips per year, a 15% fare reduction on smaller and northern routes, a fare freeze on major routes and free passenger travel for seniors, Monday through Thursday.

Budget 2019 is creating opportunities for all British Columbians by delivering a new B.C. Child Opportunity Benefit for kids up to the age of 18, removing interest from B.C. student loans, reducing taxes for businesses and investing in clean energy and climate solutions.

More than 75% of the projects along Highway 14 announced in January by Premier John Horgan, MLA for Langford-Juan de Fuca, are complete or nearing completion, with another major corridor upgrade to improve safety and reduce congestion just around the corner.
