Rapid Transit Now

The City of Surrey is advocating a Light Rail Transit (LRT) network to link communities South of the Fraser. The population of Surrey is expected to grow by 50% over the next 30 years, so this addition will help shape the growth of the city.
The City’s LRT vision includes three lines:
- City Centre to Guildford, along 104 Avenue, with a connection to Highway 1
- City Centre to Newton, along King George Boulevard, with the opportunity for extensions further south in the future
- City Centre to Langley, passing through Fleetwood along Fraser Highway
Why LRT?
- LRT is cost effective.
- LRT is high quality: LRT provides a fast, quiet, smooth, and clean travel option that creates pedestrian oriented livable places at station locations.
- LRT is flexible: City Centre is destined to be the region’s second downtown. An LRT network would connect City Centre to Surrey’s other town centres allowing expansion.
- LRT has easily accessible cars that can carry a high volume of passengers.
