Maple Ridge Moves

A strategy for better transit, more homes and a growing economy.

A blue logo comprised of stylized text stating Maple Ridge Moves.

Maple Ridge Moves is a strategy for improving access to frequent transit services and upgrading key transportation routes to ensure people and goods can move efficiently within our City and across the region, while reducing GHG emissions. With funding from the provincial and federal governments, Maple Ridge Moves projects will make it easier for residents, businesses, and goods to move, and we can unlock the development potential of up to 600 acres of industrial lands and trade-enabling infrastructure. The Maple Ridge Moves strategy is also critical to successfully introducing Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) lines proposed by TransLink in its new 10-year transportation plan, Access for Everyone. Maple Ridge will be one of the first municipalities within the region to introduce BRT, with its first line connecting the city centre to regional commuter rail service in Langley City and with its second line in Coquitlam.

Bus Rapid Transit (BRT)

Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) is coming to Maple Ridge, bringing the benefits of fast, frequent, and reliable rapid transit to more people. TransLink has identified two routes for Bus Rapid Transit that will provide our residents with convenient connections to commuter rail and the region's Skytrain network. With dedicated lanes to provide reliable service and weather-protected stations for comfort, BRT will make your commute faster and more convenient. TransLink undertook engagement in Jan/Feb 2025 inviting the public to give feedback on what features they'd like to see for BRT. Thank you to everyone who shared their feedback.

Haney Place to Langley Bus Rapid Transit

Corridor length: 22-kilometres
Number of stations: 13

Langley–Haney Place BRT will connect the Township of Langley with Maple Ridge via 200 Street, Golden Ears Bridge, and Lougheed Highway. This corridor is experiencing one of the fastest rates of population and job growth among all BRT corridors. 

This BRT service will connect to the future Surrey Langley SkyTrain at Willowbrook Station, R3 Lougheed Hwy RapidBus, Carvolth Exchange and Park & Ride. It will also link key destinations like Haney Place Mall, Ridge Meadows Hospital, Langley Events Centre, and Willowbrook Shopping Centre.

Smart Growth

Maple Ridge is growing at more than twice the rate of Canada's population. By 2040, the number of people living in our community is expected to grow by 23 per cent.

Economy

As the heart of the Lower Mainland, Maple Ridge is a critical thoroughfare to move people and goods throughout the region. The Maple Ridge Moves plan will open up industrial lands and roadways to and from our region's busy ports.

Environment

By bringing new transit services to our community, we can reduce GHG emissions to help meet climate action targets. Maple Ridge Moves will also open access to nature, improving routes to Golden Ears Park, the most visited provincial park in BC.

The plan will:

  • Enable the introduction of two new Bus Rapid Transit Lines – new traffic-separated dedicated bus routes linking the city centre to regional commuter rail in Coquitlam and Langley City.
  • Enhance Golden Ears Way – unlocking a bottleneck on a critical route for the movement of goods and people in and out of the Lower Mainland region.
  • Expand Abernethy Way – opening a major route to the City's industrial lands and a direct link to Golden Ears Park, the most heavily used provincial park in British Columbia.
  • Build Silver Valley Bridge – connecting to a growing community of 11,000 residents and improving the route to Golden Ears Park.

We're Ready for More Transit

Maple Ridge is ready to be the first city in the region to welcome Bus Rapid Transit (BRT), a new technology in TransLink's new 10-year expansion plan Access for Everyone . 

The road improvements in the Maple Ridge Moves plan will divert traffic from the BRT route, ensuring transit users have access to faster and more frequent buses, and drivers can get where they need to go.  This all contributes to cleaner air and lower GHG emissions – helping to meet federal and provincial climate targets.

The City of Maple Ridge needs the Provincial and Federal governments to partner with us to invest in the Maple Ridge Moves plan and secure the future of this thriving community. 

The first phase of the plan is already underway and the City has committed partial funding for the second phase. With matching funds from the Provincial and Federal governments, we can move forward with the next phases.
