Convenient and attractive public transit is critical to creating a vibrant and sustainable community. In combination with walking and cycling, transit can provide an attractive alternative to automobile travel for both local and regional connections.
Transit service in Mission forms part of BC Transit’s Central Fraser Valley Transit System. The service is provided through a funding partnership model, where about half of the service costs are borne by local governments, and the other half by the Province of BC, through BC Transit. Decisions relating to changes in service levels, routes, and fares are made by local government partners. BC Transit provides management of the service, oversees the contracted operating company, and provides professional guidance through the development of strategic transit plans. Actual growth of each system is determined by the regular three-year expansion agreements signed annually between BC Transit, the City of Mission, and City of Abbotsford.
Transit accounts for approximately 2.4% of all trips made by Mission residents, as compared to 1.5% in the FVRD and 11.7% in Metro Vancouver region wide. To increase transit use in Mission, the City's Transportation Plan, Mission Mobility 2050, identifies three strategies:
- Work with BC Transit to develop an updated transit network and improve transit service.
- Enhance the transit user experience.
- Review the feasibility of enhancing west coast express service and adding a new station.
The City continues to work through these strategies with our partners in the Central Fraser Valley Transit System.
