We hear you! For weeks, we've been gathering info from the public & bus operators about where bus lane enforcement is most needed. Later this week, Transit Police-Targeted Mobile Enforcement Team will launch the 1st of 4 days of focused enforcement in those areas. Is W. Georgia on the list? (spoiler: it sure is!)

Even though we started off Day One of our Bus Lane Enforcement Project with a flat tire, we still issued 39 bus lane violation tickets and took one impaired driver off the road in a little over 2 hours in #DeltaBC & #SurreyBC. Where are we going next? Stay tuned...

While we focus on Bus Lanes, Community Safety Officers continue to do checks at fare evasion "hot spots". Example: Day Two of the Bus Lane enforcement project, we fined 93 people. During the same time, MVTP Community Safety Officer wrote 61 fare evasion tickets #HaveYourProofOfFareReadyAtAllTimes

#ProTip Now is not the first time we’ve checked bus lanes at this location and it won’t be the last. If there’s too much traffic clogging up the driving lanes, pick a different route or consider taking transit instead.

Today, we joined Surrey RCMP Traffic Community Respose Unit at the Newton Busloop City of Surrey to do enforcement & education. Jay walking & not using a cross walk is very unsafe. Pedestrians are reminded to use a cross walk to ensure safety and the save $109 in a fine.
