Metro Vancouver mobility pricing could cost up to $8 per day per family | Report

Date:

A commission that’s spent the past few months studying the idea of introducing mobility pricing in Metro Vancouver has released its final report and recommendations.

The Mobility Pricing Independent Commission appeared before a joint meeting of TransLink’s Mayors’ Council and board of directors on Thursday morning.

Mayors and board members called the report a good start, but said more work needs to be done before mobility pricing is considered for the region.

Mobility pricing refers to usage charges associated with using transportation services and includes road pricing. Lower Mainlanders already pay a variety of forms of mobility pricing, from transit fares and gas taxes to parking fees.

It’s been proposed that new forms of mobility pricing could pay for more transit and transportation improvements in the region, including the third phase of the 10-year vision put forward by the Mayors’ Council.
