North Shore Connects

We are working together to advance a suite of projects to improve transportation and reduce traffic congestion on, to and from the North Shore.

In 2021, we released an economic impact study focused on the benefits of a Burrard Inlet Rapid Transit. Rapid transit on the North Shore would have an annual travel time saving of $500M and provide North Shore residents with access to 175,000 new jobs. https://t.co/OvyzzPRJrk

@TransLink and the @CityOfNorthVan have completed improvements to the R2 service! This will save riders travelling eastbound up to 6 minutes of travel time during peak hours and provide a more reliable transit experience for the roughly 40,000 monthly riders on the route.
