Take a Look at the Plan

The City of Vancouver is proud to share the 2024 Transportation System Plan (TSP). The TSP is the broad vision for our transportation system – and a roadmap for getting there. The TSP will guide investments in our transportation system for the next 20 years. Vancouver’s transportation system includes our network of streets, sidewalks, bicycle routes, bus routes, trails, and ADA-accessible facilities.

Since the last TSP was published in 2004, our City has grown and more people and businesses now call Vancouver home. The TSP will help us address new transportation trends resulting from this growth while supporting the City’s broader goals around transportation safety, climate-friendly transportation, and equitable travel options for all people.

Most importantly, the TSP is a community-driven planning process to shape the future of our transportation system for the next 20 years. Since the project launched in 2020, we’ve spoken and heard from hundreds of Vancouver residents, businesses, and organizations online and through in-person outreach at Farmer’s Markets, schools, and neighborhood associations. Now, we’re ready to share the Plan with the community.

The draft and final Plans went through formal review and public comment periods in front of the Vancouver Transportation Mobility Commission and Vancouver City Council in December 2023 and the plan was adopted by City Council in January 2024.

What is a Transportation System Plan?

A Transportation System Plan will help guide the City's future transportation system and serves as the update to the City's previous Transportation System Plan, last updated in 2004. The plan will explore transportation needs and priorities in partnership with Vancouver residents, employees, and visitors.

The Transportation System Plan examines existing travel conditions for all users of the city's transportation system, including those who drive, walk, bicycle, ride transit, or deliver freight. The City spoke to residents about their transportation priorities, with additional focus on communities that have been historically under-served by transportation investments.

Building from these conversations over the coming year, the Transportation System Plan identifies recommended policies, programs, and projects to guide the City's transportation future.

Why Transportation Matters

Vancouver residents depend on the transportation system every day.

Transportation matters because everyone in Vancouver deserves a safe and reliable transportation system that meets their daily needs. Much has changed since the City’s current Transportation System Plan was adopted in 2004. Since 2010, Vancouver has welcomed more than 14,000 new residents and 10,000 new jobs, meaning the transportation system must meet the needs of a growing community. The transportation system must also adapt to changing community needs, while supporting the city's health and economy.
