It's exciting to see @NYCMayor @ericadamsfornyc & others push for congestion pricing.

An effective program must standardize fees at all crossings into Manhattan, making the system more fair & discouraging "toll shopping."

The new Surrey-Langley Skytrain line will mean fast, frequent, reliable and affordable public transit for one of BC’s fastest growing communities.

The project will help reduce congestion and pollution, increase access to employment, and make life better for British Columbians.

Moving BC forward:

⏩ $1.3 billion in federal funding for the Surrey Langley #SkyTrain extension.

⏩ Up to 40% of planning costs to extend the new Broadway Subway (Millenium Line) to #UBC from Arbutus.
