Transport 2050
Consultation has concluded
Transport 2050 is here!
Thank you to everyone who shared their vision and ideas for the future of transportation.
Transport 2050 — the region’s new 30-year transportation strategy — has been officially adopted, setting the stage for major investments and policies to come.
Transport 2050 was built from TransLink’s largest-ever public engagement. Over three phases of consultation between 2019 and 2021, people submitted over 38,000 surveys and shared over 4,000 ideas for the future of transportation. Through 360 in-person or virtual events across 27 municipalities, we had over 160,000 conversations with the public and engaged over 500 stakeholder groups.

Share your Ideas
about 5 years agoHow will Metro Vancouver change over the next 30 years? How will you move between the places you need to go? In an ideal world, what changes – big and small – would make Metro Vancouver’s transportation system work better for everyone?
From May 3 to September 22, 2019, people from across the region submitted thousands of ideas for transit, walking, cycling, driving and new ways to move around the region.
See the archived Ideas Board below. What else did we hear in Phase 1? See the report, "Shaping Our Transportation Future, Together”. Or read the Phase 1 stakeholder submissions.
Please note: Ideas that were submitted by the "Public Engagement Team" were ideas we collected from individuals in-person at our Transport 2050 installation at the 2019 PNE Fair.

With the necessary conversion to electric cars to stop climate change, we will still need roads for cars. The North Shore is built up in the form of suburban sprawl so transit will never work as the only transportation option. You can get from any point to any point on the North Shore by road but certainly not by bus. Twinning the second narrows is overdue as can be seen by the congestion at the bridgehead. It can by made Skytrain-ready with tracks when Translink sees fit to connect it. Better bike lanes can be built over the twinned bridge with walkway.

Add real time bus info signs (similar to the new skytrain real time info signs) at bus loops and skytrain stations (so when you arrive at the skytrain station, you know when the bus is leaving). Also add real time bus info on the all Rapid-Bus/B-Line stops

The four bridges connecting Richmond to northern parts of Metro Vancouver are incredibly congested every day. A new bridge connecting Boundary Road, Number 8 Road, and Highway 91 can help alleviate some congestion issues along with creating a new bridge in East Richmond. This bridge will have 8 lanes in each direction (2 will be HOV lanes) to accommodate the amount of cars passing through this bridge. Bus Routes affected/implemented: 146 Metrotown Station/22nd Street Station: Extend route southbound across the new Boundary Road Bridge to 22nd Street Station via Highway 91 and Highway 91A. The bus route in Burnaby will route two-way via Patterson Street. This route will also be upgraded to conventional buses. (Note: older ideas of mine have routes covering Joffre Street (28) and Rumble Street (57 - new route)) 415 Metrotown Station/Brighouse Station (New route): Route will follow the 146 route but go towards Brighouse Station along Highway 91, Alderbridge Way, and Number 3 Road. 440 Joyce Station/Brighouse Station (New Express route): Route will follow Vanness Avenue, Boundary Road, Highway 91, Alderbridge Way, Garden City Road, Westminster Highway, and Number 3 Road. Stops are Joyce Station, Boundary Station (future, when Boundary Station is constructed), 49th Avenue/Imperial Street, Rumble Street, River District, Highway 91/Boundary Road Bridge, Lansdowne Street, Westminster Highway/Garden City Road, and Brighouse Station.
