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.

How 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.

Connect Burnaby/New Westminster to Richmond
Going to Burnaby from Richmond is not convenient on skytrain. Why not connect Brighouse to New Westminster or Columbia station?

Better transfers and options to Institutions
Institutions across the Lower Mainland need more frequent services; this includes a Skytrain to UBC (Emily Carr-Great Northern Way stop), a Gondola to SFU, and better options for BCIT and CapilanoU (North Shore Skytrain?) than the current buses. There needs to be a better transfer between Granville and Vancouver City Centre, both stations are close to each other yet lack a proper connection without getting lost in the Hudson Bay or heading outside in the Vancouver rain.

Painted lines on platforms to inform people to line up on sides, so people who are exiting can get off trains first.
Many Asian countries have these lines as guides so the people who are waiting won't be blocking the exits and entrances to get off and on trains. Every platform needs this because apparently some people think they should get on the train first and line up right in front and middle of the doorway which ends up blocking people who want to exit at the station.
