Launching the Largest Public Engagement in TransLink History

Today, TransLink takes a bold step towards the future. And it starts with you!

We’re leading the charge on Transport 2050, a new long-term strategy for transportation in Metro Vancouver. This strategy will set out a shared vision for the future, and what our region needs to build, do, and provide to keep moving over the next 30 years.

In the first phase of our engagement (our largest ever!) your input will help shape a new vision for the region. We also want to hear your bold and creative and ideas for the future.

What do you like about living here? What do you value in a transportation system? And – here’s where your creativity comes in – what do you want from future of transportation?

How we get around has changed a lot over the past 30 years. We’ve gone from paper maps, punch tickets,_, and schedules to Google Maps, Tap-to-Pay, and real-time updates. The region has also expanded its options for getting around. Today you can take the bus, SkyTrain, SeaBus, or West Coast Express. You can walk, skateboard, and scoot. You can drive a car or ride a bike – whether you own it or share it.

Think how much things have changed in just a few years. Now imagine the future. How can transportation support the kind of life you want to live? What new technology might improve how we move around the region?

Will it be shared scooters? Bus-only lanes? Computer-driven, electric-powered pods? Bicycle superhighways? Coffee shops in SkyTrain cars? Debit Tap-to-Pay? Ride-hailing? Library-quiet SkyTrain cars? The hyperloop?

No idea is too big or small! And here’s how you can participate:

• Take the survey and share your ideas
• Meet us at community events throughout the Lower Mainland all summer
• Connect with TransLink on social media and by using the #Transport2050 hashtag

You have from now until September 2019 to take part. After that, we’ll report back what we heard and how your input has shaped a new vision for the region. Then we’ll start Phase 2, asking you to help us consider trade-offs between different ideas in 2020.

Transport 2050. Shape the future of how we move. And live.
