Home | The 10-Year Vision

Metro Vancouver’s biggest transportation expansion is underway.

Implementation of the Mayors’ Vision is underway! 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.

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

Approved in 2016, Phase One funded approximately $2 billion in expanded transit services, transit infrastructure and improvements for roads, cycling, and walking.

Approved in 2018, Phase Two funded an estimated $7.3 billion of transportation improvements in the 10-Year Vision.

The remaining projects in the 10-Year Vision will be funded in a future investment plan after Transport 2050 is confirmed and the 10-Year Vision refreshed.
