Fraser Valley Transit Study
Purpose of the Study To determine current and future transit travel needs in the
Fraser Valley
To develop and assess transit service options to meet those needs
To develop a transit Vision with local governments to assist in guiding transit investments for the Fraser Valley
Organization This was a Ministry led study with partnership from the
Fraser Valley Regional District, BC Transit, and TransLink2

Three principle sources of revenue (fares account for 26%)

Would add another 75% to the annual cost of the Vision, provide less than 1% of the service hours and contribute less than 5% to the projected 2031 ridership (most of which are between Langley & Surrey)
Cost per ride and per service hour is prohibitively high compared to other regional bus service options

Rapid Transit Studies
The Ministry is participating with TransLink in two rapid transit studies
UBC Line Rapid Transit StudySurrey Rapid Transit Study
The Ministry and TransLink are also looking at options to increase capacity on the Expo Line
UBC Line Study
A short-list of 7 alternatives is being evaluated Best Bus, Bus Rapid Transit, Light Rail Transit, Rail Rapid Transit, and
Combination Alternatives; Route mainly along Broadway, West 10th, and University Blvd, but with
options connecting to VCC Clark Station via Great Northern Way and to Granville Island and Main Street via 1st and Arbutus Rail Corridor;
UBC Line Study
Alternatives evaluated using a Multiple Account Evaluation• See TransLink’s website for alternatives and preliminary
evaluation results at “Be Part of the Plan”• Consultation completed but comments taken until April 22
Surrey Study
Larger study areaMultiple corridors joining
7 centresObjectives include:
Support growth in Surrey Metro Centre and other urban centres
Shape land use by encouraging and supporting TOD
Stimulate economic development and job access
Help achieve regional targets Consider environmentally
sensitive and other areas
Surrey Study
Technologies under consideration:Bus Rapid TransitLight Rail TransitRail Rapid Transit
Surrey Study
Focused on alternatives that: Connect directly to Surrey Centre and
high growth centres and serve major activity centres
Provide direct routes with higher capacity technology in areas of higher growth
10 alternatives in short-list: Best Bus 2 Bus Rapid Transit 4 Light Rail Transit 3 Rail Rapid Transit
Also looking at use of Interurban Corridor
Surrey Study
Alternative designs, technical work, and preliminary evaluation now underway
Will provide level of detail similar to what was produced for the UBC Line Study including Estimated capital and operating costs Ridership projections Indicative travel times Preliminary evaluation and rationale
