TransLink faces a structural deficit of $600 million per year as early as 2026 once pandemic-era emergency funding runs out.

Only reference to TransLink in budget documents unveiled by Finance Minister Brenda Bailey this week was to grant an increase in the agency’s maximum tax rate on parking rights.

TransLink says a possible resolution is still in the works and that the province has made funding decisions for the transit authority “outside of the regular budget cycle”.
