Public input and ideas are being sought about how to reduce congestion in Metro Vancouver and make funding for transportation more fair.
Beginning this week and running through Nov. 26, an online survey is being conducted for the Mobility Pricing Independent Commission to find out what approach should be taken when studying decongestion funding — for example, charging by time of day, by location, by distance or according to income level — as well as what spending priorities should be and where congestion is the worst.
The online survey is available at itstimemv.ca and takes about 10 minutes and is available in English, Chinese and Punjabi. In addition to answering multiple-choice questions, people can also expand their ideas in writing on some questions.
A report will be released in December and the public will be given additional opportunities for feedback on more detailed scenarios in February and March.
