One of the ways we can help employers address labour shortages is by improving regional transportation planning. Making commutes more convenient opens up areas outside of the core where housing costs can be less expensive. Efficient transportation is also vital for reducing harmful emissions.
The Chamber applauds the recent move by the Capital Regional District to prioritize transportation governance in Greater Victoria. The CRD Board has asked for feedback from municipalities, local areas, the province and relevant agencies to help with future decisions about how to shift modes of transportation, reduce emissions and better address congestion.

There needs to be a Vancouver Island Transportation authority akin to TransLink but for the Island to remove the propensity to plan in one region on the island only. Our current configuration creates border issues, main corridor issues, and lacks a proper coordinated approach to bike trails and paths.
