Rapid Transit at UBC

A rapid transit network that efficiently and sustainably connects UBC to the Metro Vancouver region will have a dramatic effect on the regional innovation ecosystem and on UBC itself, turning Canada’s second-ranked institution into an urban, cosmopolitan institution, while cutting congestion, reducing commute times and expanding access to affordable housing options.
