Each week, one third of Metro Vancouver’s population relies on TransLink’s network of transit, major roads, and active transportation infrastructure to move them through the region. A robust transportation system is critical to supporting a resilient economy, and a thriving region. It also helps grow businesses and productivity, address housing affordability challenges by supporting complete communities, and is an essential contributor to reducing GHG emissions.
The 2025 Investment Plan proposes increasing bus service and advancing early priorities in the Access for Everyone Plan, while preventing any cuts to transit services by funding TransLink operations through the end of 2027.
