A good public transit system is essential to building strong communities that are more affordable for the people who live in them.

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.

Premier John Horgan and Carole James, Minister of Finance, have released StrongerBC for everyone: BC’s Economic Recovery Plan.

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.

The federal and provincial governments have confirmed that the transit funding envelope of the Safe Restart Agreement will include eligibility for BC Ferries.

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