Home | The 10-Year Vision

Metro Vancouver’s biggest transportation expansion is underway.

Phase Two of the 10-Year Vision has been approved! That means more transit, better roads, safer cycling and pedestrian access — for everyone. The 10-Year Vision is an investment in our future, and that future has begun.

With the Final Phase Three Plan still to come, there are more investments in transit, roads, cycling and pedestrian infrastructure coming.

The 10-Year Vision is being rolled out in phases, each timed to the planning and delivery of new projects and services.

Phase One funded approximately $2 billion in expanded transit services, transit infrastructure and improvements for roads, cycling, and walking, beginning in 2017. Phase Two funds an estimated $7.3 billion of transportation improvements in the 10-Year Vision.

The Phase Three Plan will deliver the remaining projects in the 10-Year Vision, and is scheduled for approval in Spring 2021, pending funding commitments from senior governments.
