Premier Gordon Campbell and Minister Kevin Falcon announced the Provincial Transit Plan in Vancouver on January 14, 2008—a new strategy to double transit ridership by increasing travel choice for people around the province, with new fleets, green technology, new rapid transit lines and new innovative services like RapidBus BC. The vision is to be a global leader in providing safe, comfortable, reliable services that will highlight green technologies and will reshape our communities by encouraging integration of work, home and recreational activities. As more and more British Columbians live and work near transit, urban form will shift, which will lead to lower energy use, increasing energy efficiency, and a lighter environmental footprint. The plan will reduce provincial transportation greenhouse gas emissions by 4.7 million tonnes cumulatively by 2020.
