Through the Municipal Funding Program, TransLink contributes up to 75% of funding for upgrades benefiting local governments throughout the region.
The E&A Program, which began in 2020, is a grassroots framework to brainstorm, evaluate, prioritize, and implement employee-driven efficiency initiatives while simultaneously improving collaboration.
To receive funding, transit agencies must have eligible expenses resulting from an event for which the president declared a major disaster within those timeframes.
In the last several years, the design-build method of delivery has gained traction because of greater support from new programs.
The funding will support an array of topics and communities.
Project focus areas include, but are not limited to, improving the mobility of disadvantaged populations to mitigating the impacts of extreme weather.
The plan’s vision is “Safe, reliable, accessible public transportation that connects people to opportunity, advances equity and combats climate change.”
In a pre-budget submission to the Minister of Finance, the Mayors’ Council is specifically calling for emergency relief funding of $250 million — to be matched by the BC government.
Research indicates that transportation insecurity is a factor in persistent poverty.
The funding announcement is part of an investment to upgrade the state’s transit system to enhance mobility options.
