This morning, both the BC Conservatives and the BC NDP ruled out a vehicle levy to fund public transit in Metro Vancouver. This despite the vehicle levy being commonly used in other cities, including Montreal, Seattle, and the bustling metropolis of Gatineau, Quebec.

The Livable CRD Candidate Scorecard, now available at LivableCRD.ca, brings together candidates’ responses to key municipal issues on a single website. The goal is to make it easier for voters to explore candidates’ positions and conduct their own research ahead of election day.

Caleb Crookes, vice-president of transit advocacy group Better Transit YYJ, said his organization welcomes the change.

“It would have been excellent had that been slightly higher on the to-do list, but overall, I think I speak for everyone when I say that we’re all excited for this.” #yyj #transit
