As Metro Vancouver’s transportation authority, our mission is to connect the region and enhance its livability through a robust transportation network. Through the Local Government Funding Programs (LGFP), TransLink supports essential projects that help maintain and modernize the infrastructure our region relies on every day. This funding focuses on critical upgrades to roads, bridges, and transit corridors, creating a more resilient and integrated transportation network that connects people to jobs and services more efficiently.

Investments made through the LGFP are critical in advancing Transport 2050 and the Access for Everyone plan by making travel more convenient, affordable, and accessible across all modes. TransLink remains committed to supporting projects that bolster the local economy, create well-paying jobs, and provide residents with safe, dependable travel options regardless of how they choose to get around.

    Through our Local Government Funding Programs, funding supports local projects that advance Transport 2050’s regional objectives and serve a broader regional transportation purpose.

    Since 2017, TransLink has invested nearly $1.2 billion in more than 900 infrastructure projects across the region and contributed funding towards the operation, maintenance, and rehabilitation (OMR) of the Major Road Network (MRN). In 2026, TransLink is allocating nearly $174 million in regional funding to local government partners through the LGFP. This investment supports a total of 114 projects and helps fund the OMR of the MRN.

    These projects are driven by local governments and include the addition of new or improved:

    Road Infrastructure

    • Road widening on the MRN

    • Safety and efficiency improvements on the MRN

    • Bus Speed and Reliability improvements

    • Repair of major structures and assets on the MRN

    Other Infrastructure

    • Infrastructure upgrades to increase regional connectivity

    • Wayfinding and signage to raise awareness and make routes more intuitive

    • Pedestrian crossing upgrades

    • Street calming measures to increase safety for all road users
