Transportation and Mobility Strategy
Overview
The Township of Langley (Township) is updating its current Master Transportation Plan from 2009. The existing plan provides limited guidance on active and sustainable transportation, and it does not consider the arrival of the Surrey-Langley SkyTrain (SLS) and Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) to the Township and neighbouring municipalities.
The Township 2015 Cycling Plan also needs to be updated to meet current Transportation and Association of Canada (TAC) guidelines for cycling infrastructure. The new Transportation and Mobility Strategy (TMS) will use Vision Zero principles to identify safety issues and recommend improvements including infrastructure for persons of all ages and abilities.
The TMS will also consider issues such as equity and climate change. The new TMS will become a comprehensive guide to renewing and enhancing transportation infrastructure that will keep pace with our dynamic, growing community.
We need to hear from you to create a plan that is inclusive, sustainable, and forward-thinking. The plan will incorporate multiple modes of transportation including:
- walking (including travelling by wheelchair or motorized assistive device)
- cycling and micromobility devices (e.g. e-scooters and other one-person electric devices)
- transit (e.g. bus, SkyTrain and BRT)
- driving / carpooling
It will also integrate related Township policies and strategies such as Transportation Demand Management (TDM), road safety, curbside management, and urban and rural street design guidelines.
