The 2024 Investment Plan has been approved by the Mayors’ Council and TransLink’s board as a short-term plan to address overcrowding.
Work is now underway on a 2025 Investment Plan that seeks a long-term solution to help TransLink keep up with unprecedented population growth.
The following improvements will begin rolling out later this year:
Increasing service on 60 bus routes to address overcrowding.
Extending evening hours on 11 bus routes.
Expanding the bus fleet to prepare for BRT.
Increasing Canada Line frequencies.
Earlier SeaBus sailings by 15 minutes on weekdays.
Enhancing late-evening HandyDART service.
Investing in road safety and new cycling and walking infrastructure.
Adding new bus priority infrastructure.
“The 2024 Investment Plan provides critical transit expansion on our most overcrowded routes for the first time since 2019,” said TransLink CEO Kevin Quinn. “As we implement this short-term solution, it is critical that we simultaneously look to the future and work with all levels of government to develop a funding model that is capable of supporting transit investments that keep up with our rapid population growth.”
The plan includes up to $300 million in capital funding from the Government of British Columbia to support the purchase of new buses for future service increases.
TransLink will work with senior government partners on a 2025 Investment Plan to help identify a new long-term funding model for transit.
