Federal Government Commits $1.5 Billion to Metro Vancouver Transit Network
The federal government has committed over $1.5 billion for Metro Vancouver's transit network through a new Metro-Region Agreement under the Canada Public Transit Fund, starting in 2026. This funding will support the growth and maintenance of public transit services, which are vital for connecting municipalities within the region, and is in addition to a previously announced $663 million for infrastructure. TransLink CEO Kevin Quinn emphasized the importance of this partnership for addressing the significant operational shortfall the transit authority faces, which could lead to service cuts without additional funding. The agreement aims to foster sustainable, inclusive communities while reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Furthermore, the federal government is also contributing $189 million over ten years for BC Transit, serving communities outside of Metro Vancouver. This announcement is part of a broader strategy to enhance public transit infrastructure across Canada.
