The province of British Columbia (B.C.) in Canada has launched B.C: on the Move, a ten-year transportation plan for the improvement of the transportation network
The plan is reinforced by a a $2.5-billion commitment from the provincial government over its first three years and it has a focus on LNG in ports and Rail as well. As a matter of fact, Section 8 of the plan focuses on “Enabling Efficient Ports and Rail” for investments in port and rail infrastructure improvements.
The plan was developed by government with input gathered during an extensive engagement process in fall 2014. The engagement included a public survey that drew over 12,500 responses from throughout B.C.
Concurrently, ministry staff held over 100 meetings throughout the province with First Nations, local governments, transportation authorities and other interested stakeholders to gather information on local and regional priorities.
The actions prioritized in B.C. on the Move will grow the economy, improve safety, maintain and replace aging infrastructure and support trade for B.C.’s expanding resource sectors through Canada’s Asia-Pacific Gateway.
