West Vancouver-Sea to Sky BC United MLA Jordan Sturdy introduced legislation for the fourth time to address rapid growth in the region by including elected representatives from Squamish and Líl’Wat First Nations on the Sea to Sky Transit Commission.

“The transportation challenges resulting from rapid population growth in my constituency have been raised in the Legislature and by local government, yet we continue to see no action taken by this government,” Sturdy emphasized. In the Sea to Sky, there are no regional transit services between communities, and at this time, only local government elected officials are permitted to serve on a transit commission. This bill seeks to take the necessary first step to rectify these problems.”

The improvement project on the Sea to Sky Highway from 2006 to 2009 had a transformative impact on the communities along the corridor. It significantly enhanced reliability, reduced travel times, and improved public safety, while also expanding economic opportunities, Sturdy said. “Introducing a regional transit service would serve as the most cost-effective way to offer transportation alternatives to the public, visitors, and workers, thereby improving connectivity between the local communities and Metro Vancouver,” he added.

This marks the fourth time MLA Sturdy has introduced the bill, which the NDP government has yet to call for debate each time it has been introduced, he added.

    I’m a Senior and often would take the bus from Abbotsford to Vancouver and then to Squamish, Whistler, or Powell River. Now I have to take my vehicle as it is too expensive and time consuming to take a few different companies to get to one place. And if you are taking sports equipment, it is nearly impossible.
