The UBCM is hosting a forum on transit. June 16th a forum was held on the state of transit in the world of CORVID 19. Coming out of the meeting was a further medd lding of minds do use thw 14B dollars allocated to provinces and territories to restate transit.
In follow up to the Forum, UBCM, in collaboration with the TransLink’s Mayors’ Council and BC Transit communities, offered to support a collective advocacy effort to provincial and federal government. With the latter announcing $14 billion to assist provinces and territories with restart plans, transit was identified as an area for potential funding. While funding details and allocations are still being worked out between the two orders of government, UBCM sees this a potential opportunity for transit communities.
