THE King George Boulevard Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) project is advancing to the next design phase, with endorsement from Surrey City Council at the September 29 meeting. In this phase, the City and TransLink will work continue to work together to refine alignment options, analyze traffic flow, and ensure the project fits with Surrey’s Town Centre plans and transportation network improvements.

“Surrey is one of the fastest-growing cities in the region, and our residents deserve faster, more frequent transit as soon as possible,” said Surrey Mayor Brenda Locke on Wednesday. “I’m proud that King George Boulevard was chosen as one of the region’s first three BRT routes. This moves us a step closer to a modern, high-frequency transit service that will cut travel times by 40 per cent between City Centre and Semiahmoo Town Centre.”

Running from Surrey City Centre to Semiahmoo Town Centre, the BRT will feature 12 stations along a 19-kilometre corridor. It will have dedicated lanes along most of the route, providing fast, reliable service to support Surrey’s Town Centres.

“We appreciate Surrey Council’s endorsement of this important project, which brings us one step closer to delivering fast, reliable rapid transit along King George Boulevard,” said TransLink CEO Kevin Quinn. “As we move into the next phase of design, we look forward to working closely with the City and engaging with the community to ensure the final plan reflects the needs and priorities of Surrey residents.”

TransLink will conduct the next round of public engagement in 2026 and report back to Council upon completing conceptual design, before proceeding to detailed design and implementation planning.
