Tell the government you want better transit now! Sign the petition.

Columbia SkyTrain Station

If you’ve taken transit recently, you know our buses and trains are full. In Delta, Surrey, White Rock, Langley City, and the Township of Langley, transit ridership is at record levels and is growing faster than anywhere else in the region.

This demand for transit is why the TransLink Mayors’ Council launched the Access for Everyone plan, which will make generational investments to get most people in Metro Vancouver within an easy walk of fast, frequent, and reliable bus and rail service over the next decade.

While our region’s mayors are ready to invest, the Access for Everyone plan will require a $21 billion investment over the next ten years. Our region cannot do this plan alone; we need the support of the provincial and federal governments.

Yesterday, the Mayors’ Council launched a petition to “Tell the government you want better transit now!”

If you want better transit, please fill out the petition at https://accessforeveryone.ca/petition/
