Having rail service restored will transform daily mobility for all residents, costing less than other forms of transportation. Currently, we are the only major population in Canada with no passenger rail service. If Island Rail is restored, projected usage is 2.5 million annual trips. Many products can be moved more efficiently and at a lower cost using rail. A restored Port Alberni–Mainland freight connection is a new gateway to Pacific Rim trade. Our railway corridor already exists. Let’s restore it! This is about protecting a strategic transportation corridor, supporting housing, economic development, tourism, freight movement, and community connectivity for the next century.
