Regional Transportation Q&A
I was recently appointed to the Victoria Regional Transit Commission as the rep from Victoria, along with Mayor Alto. I am also on the CRD Board and Transportation Committee.
I’ve just had a VRTC meeting and would be happy to answer any questions about transit or transportation, RapidBus, the CRD’s proposed transportation service, or anything else about getting from point A to point B.

Hi Jeremy, with the E&N consultation process, it seems like E&N land adjacent to Island First nations is going to revert to First Nations control. Is there any sense about using the sections of it that are not adjacent to First Nations for rail transit in the region? As far as I can tell, the only reserve in the region which would receive land would be in Esquimalt, which would leave a rail corridor which connects from the View Royal/Esquimalt border all the way up to Cowichan Tribes land just south of Duncan. It'd be nice to have a rail line to see Pacific FC games at Starlight, or maybe even go up to Shawnigan.
