"Expand the port, rail and transportation capacity that connects Canadian producers to the world. We will increase rail capacity through the Fraser Canyon, advance key rail grade separations in the Lower Mainland in communities such as Maple Ridge and Coquitlam, and support the expansion of Roberts Bank and the Port of Prince Rupert with the road and rail connections they need." — Ready to Deliver, retrieved 2026-10-18

"Conservative candidate for West Vancouver-Sea to Sky, Ayla Dumais, today committed to secure up to $15 million over two years, if elected, to fund a comprehensive regional express bus pilot project spanning the Highway 99 corridor.

The funding commitment will establish the region’s first fully integrated, public bus network, directly linking transit hubs in West Vancouver to Squamish, Whistler, and Pemberton to relieve highway congestion, improve commuter safety, and connect local workers with affordable transit options.

Delivering Reliable, High-Frequency Regional Transit

The proposed $15 million commitment provides full capital and operational funding for the two-year pilot phase, ensuring robust service without placing an unfunded burden on local property taxpayers.

Key features of the proposed pilot include:

1. Seamless Lower Mainland Connection: Reliable connections between West Vancouver/Park Royal, Squamish, Whistler, and Pemberton with access to the broader Lower Mainland transit network.
2. Reliable, Corridor-Appropriate Service: A fleet and service model designed for the unique operating conditions and travel needs of the Sea-to-Sky corridor.
3. Commuter & Workforce Support: Schedules designed to better support people travelling between communities for work, education, appointments, and essential services.
4. Safety & Infrastructure Upgrades: Practical improvements to stops, passenger facilities, Park & Ride connections, transit information and other infrastructure required to support safe and reliable regional service."

"For a long time, rail was a key connection network across British Columbia. Being able to cover vast distances, keep trucks off the roads, and move large amounts of freight supports tourism, industry, and cross-community connection. The decision by CN Rail to end its lease of the rail corridor between Squamish and 100 Mile House provides an opportunity for the province to support interior communities by getting trains running again. The BC Rail Corridor Alliance is still waiting for a response from the province for support in an engineering feasibility assessment, economic study and operations funding." — Believe in Better, retrieved 2026-10-13
