The Vancouver International Airport Authority recognizes the contribution that vehicle traffic makes to air pollution in the Lower Fraser Valley. As such, we support the expansion of commuting choices such as the Richmond-Airport-Vancouver (RAV) rapid transit line and improvements to cycling facilities on Sea Island. As an employee working at YVR or on Sea Island, there are several transportation options available to you.
Public Transit
Translink operates public buses and rapid transit in the Greater Vancouver Regional District. Translink offers a discount to employers that sign up under its Employer Pass program committing 15 or more employees to buy monthly passes for one year.

Car Sharing
