City of Surrey's 2022-2026 Financial Plan

UTILITY OVERVIEW TRANSPORTATION

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 partially funded through the Roads & Traffic Safety Utility (Levy), are delivered through the work of three 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. The City is in the process of updating the Transportation Strategic Plan which will provide the overarching direction for Transportation in Surrey. This Plan is supported by several other important plans and initiatives, most recently, the Electric Mobility Strategy (2021), the upcoming Digital Transportation Strategy, and the award-winning Vision Zero Surrey . 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 the Advanced Traveler Information System (“ATIS”).
