TransLink to study benefits of developers subsidizing transit

  • Date: 09/19/2022

TransLink has partnered with PCI Developments to study the impacts of providing subsidized transit to residents and workers in King George Hub, a transit-oriented development which is steps away from King George SkyTrain Station.

Transit subsidies are already an option for developers to meet building sustainability requirements in some municipalities, though there is a lack of data and studies in this area. Data collected during this pilot could strengthen the case for transit subsidy requirements by municipalities as part of new transit-oriented developments.

The pilot is paid for by PCI Developments and will:

  • Provide $150 pre-loaded Compass Cards to 250 residents or workers in the King George Hub development.
  • Survey participants before and after the three-month pilot period on their transit use.
  • Track participant transit usage during the pilot with their permission.
  • Determine whether pilot participants were more likely to use transit as a result.
