For $250 million we can sit in traffic or we can get moving with LRT. We support LRT. Let's get moving.

Under the Provincial Transit Plan, senior governments would cover two-thirds of the cost of a Light Rail Transit system. That makes the local share of LRT from Victoria to Six Mile $250 million. Just maintaining the current, bus-based service will cost $250 million. An LRT system will attract higher ridership, reduce congestion, cut greenhouse gas emissions and get commuters home a lot faster. Join the campaign. Support LRT for the CRD.
