Email to: Langley Mayor + City Council Subject: Please support the motion for affordable transit Hi Council, I am a Langley resident and I support the motion to create a low income transit pass. Your voice will be crucial in convincing the province and TransLink to fill this massive gap in our region's infrastructure. Did you know: We're one of the only regions in North America that doesn't have this?

Opinion: BC NDP overlooking public transit's role in easing cost-of-living pressures Public transit needs to be viewed for what it is: a tool that can save someone up to $15,000 per year. There is no other cost saving tool at any government’s disposal as powerful as public transit.
A picture from the announcement of the new bus lane in Seattle of a woman holding a sign that says "girls just wanna have bus" For Earth Day in Seattle, they've just announced a bus lane on Denny Way, a very congested street that the last city council said could never get a bus lane. They're planning to install it in only four months. Happy Earth Day from MOVeMENT
A graphic of the world with a bus on it is on a green gradient background with text: Happy Earth Day transit riders! Choosing transit over driving reduces transportation emissions by 80%! You're doing your part. Is the "Greenest City" Vancouver doing its part?
Notes are on each of the labels on the map: West Vancouver District of North Vancouver needs more bus lanes and signal priority City of North Van has made a lot of progress but still more work to do! BC Gov't could do a LOT to get buses through bridge congestion Vancouver tried to fix this but postponed because of opposition from businesses Burnaby has some bus lanes on Willingdon, but needs more. Lanes on Hastings are coming under heavy opposition from businesses, and need your support
All the governments* responsible for the R2 The following labels are on a map of the R2 route: West Vancouver District of North Vancouver City of North Vancouver Government of BC - Ministry of Transportation and Transit (MOTT) City of Vancouver City of Burnaby *this is simplified, it's actually more complicated than this

A sad little cartoon bus is stuck sliding in the snow, it says "help me!" on the front and it has a face that is upset and scared. A text box says "Has your bus ever been stuck in the snow? On Feb 4th, Vancouver Council is considering a motion to prioritize transit trouble spots for snow clearing. Send an email or sign up to speak in support!"
A diagram of the bus lanes on Granville in Marpole showing the existing, originally planned, and updated lanes. Existing bus lanes are peak hour, only in the peak direction. The original plan was to extend bus lanes in both directions during AM & PM peak hours, southbound from 63rd to Marine, and northbound from 63rd to 70th, and 24/7 bus lanes on Granville outside of those blocks. The updated plan has been rolled back south of 70th, to be weekday peak hour bus lanes instead of all day bus lanes, and northbound from 62nd to 63rd has received the same treatment.
