Overview The Greater Vancouver region has one of the worst air qualities in Canada. Based on current trends, our population will grow by 40,000 people and 23,000 cars a year. By 2005 we'll be making 500,000 to 600,000 more trips every day.
Transportation is the number one issue for residents.
TransLink plans and finances the transportation system in the Greater Vancouver Regional District including major roads and transit. Subsidiary companies operate buses, SeaBus, SkyTrain, West Coast Express, Albion Ferries and the AirCare program. TransLink partners with municipalities on a network of major roads and bridges. TransLink supports the goals of the GVRD s Liveable Region Strategic Plan - goals that include preserving green space, reducing urban sprawl and protecting our air quality. The public process began years ago, but picked up momentum in the Spring of 2000, when TransLink distributed copies of the draft Plan in community newspapers to households throughout the region and asked for public input.
