[IN-PERSON] UDI Luncheon: Where Will You Build? The Future of Ridership, Transit, and Development

View the presentation slide here.



Join TransLink’s CEO, Kevin Quinn, in his first in-person UDI Luncheon, to learn about how TransLink is preparing for the year ahead — and about what’s next for the future of transit and how this will affect the development industry.

In a community like Metro Vancouver, we can solve a lot of problems if we build more homes near transit lines. The benefits of transit-oriented development are clear: easier travel between work and home, reduced GHG emissions, healthier communities that make walking or cycling real options. Transport 2050 provides a new vision for getting around our region – one that includes a significant expansion of our rapid transit network.

Please join us from the unceded traditional territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Úxwumixw (Squamish), and səl̓ilw̓ətaʔɬ (Tsleil-Waututh).
