A Livable Region Depends on a Sustainable Transportation System Metro Vancouver 2040: Shaping our Future, the regional growth strategy, represents the collective vision for how our region is going to accommodate the 1 million people and over 500,000 jobs that are expected to come to the region in the next 25 years. Metro 2040 directs the majority of this growth to a network of 26 Urban Centres and a growing number of Frequent Transit Development Areas located in close proximity to frequent WUDQVLW (QFRXUDJLQJ ORQJ WHUP JURZWK LQ WKHVH VWUDWHJLF ORFDWLRQV VXSSRUWV DQ HɝFLHQW transportation system which connects people, jobs, and amenities across the region. The map demonstrates the important relationship between planning for growth and investing in transit. Today, approximately 55% of residents live within in the transit proximity area, which is a 5 to 10 minute walk to the Frequent Transit Network. Increasing the share of residents in Centres and FTDAs will also increase the share of residents in walking distance to transit, but the transit system and service to support that population must also be in place. 0DMRU WUDQVLW LQYHVWPHQWV ZHUH LGHQWLȴHG LQ Regional Transportation Investments: A Vision for Metro Vancouver, completed by the Mayors Council on Regional Transportation, and are depicted conceptually on the map in orange.

Growth Distribution What Growth will Look Like How Growth Will Occur Metro 2040 targets 40% of residential growth to the region s network of 26 Urban Centres. An additional 28% of residential growth is targeted to Frequent Transit Development Areas located in close proximity to transit. While growth near the transit network will be more compact than in rest of the Urban Containment Boundary, it will not be uniform along the entire network. Population and employment will be densest at major hubs, such as the large 0HWUR &HQWUHV DQG ZLOO WDSHU R EHIRUH ULVLQJ XS DJDLQ DW another Centre. Similarly, population and employment will be greater in existing or potential FTDAs and decrease in areas farther away from major transit stations and stops. The region will be made up of a network of compact, transitoriented complete communities connected by a sustainable transportation system. Urban Centres are established throughout the region and are focal points for growth.
