Canada Line

In keeping with our goal of being a sustainable organization operating a world class airport, the Airport Authority has committed up to $300-million to fund the airport portion of the Canada Line (previously known as the RAV Line) rapid transit link. Scheduled to begin operations in late 2009, the line will connect downtown Vancouver, Richmond City Centre and YVR. The 19-kilometre transit line will add the equivalent of a 10-lane roadway and provide passengers and employees with convenient transportation to YVR.
