TransLink to receive over $1.5B over 10 years from Ottawa

  • The federal government committed over $1.5 billion for Metro Vancouver's transit network from 2026 to 2036, according to a statement from the Department of Housing, Infrastructure and Communities.
  • This funding is part of the Canada Public Transit Fund, which will start distributing $3 billion annually from 2026.
  • CEO Kevin Quinn mentioned that without adequate funding, TransLink could face significant service cuts due to a projected $600 million annual operational shortfall.
  • An additional $189 million over 10 years has also been allocated for BC Transit, as part of the federal commitment to improve public transit across Canada.
