Official description
Description
Surrey’s transportation system relies on multiple funding sources including contributions from all levels of government and private development sectors. As new infrastructure continues to be built, additional funding is required for operations and maintenance to keep the City’s roads, sidewalks, and cycling infrastructure in a state of good repair. As electric vehicle ownership increases, reductions in both Federal and Provincial Gas Tax revenues will further impact available funding. To increase walking, cycling and transit infrastructure, new sustainable and reliable funding sources are required. Additional budget reallocation will also be necessary to prioritize sustainable modes of transportation ahead of private vehicles.
