MISSION STATEMENT To improve the quality of life for those living, working or recreating in Surrey through a safe, efficient, equitable and sustainable transportation system where individuals can choose a variety of modes to travel comfortably and conveniently to their destination. KEY PROGRAMS AND SERVICES Transportation services, which are funded through the Roads & Traffic Safety Utility, are delivered through the work of four Engineering Department divisions: the Transportation Division, which plans for current and future transportation needs and ensures the safe and efficient operation of the system; the Design & Construction Division, which manages the design and construction of new infrastructure in a cost effective and environmentally sustainable manner; the Engineering Operations Division, which maintains the road infrastructure to meet approved service levels ; and the Rapid Transit & Strategic Projects Division, which is responsible to ensure the City’s Interests are met for the Fraser Highway SkyTrain Project. The City has initiated an update to the Transportation Strategic Plan which provides the overarching direction for Transportation in Surrey. This Plan is supported by a number of important plans and initiatives, most recently, the award-winning Vision Zero Surrey Safe Mobility Plan (2019-2023). This Utility provides roadway services ranging from award winning winter maintenance, sweeping and road repaving, to planning and delivering infrastructure in support of transit, walking, cycling and automobiles, to improving traffic flow through intelligent transportation systems, like our highly acclaimed Traffic Management Centre and new Advanced Traveler Information System (“ATIS”).
