How Vancouver is Transforming Public Transportation for the Future of Mobility | Kevin Quinn

Metro Vancouver is a city that has quietly built one of the most advanced and integrated public transport systems in North America—from automated SkyTrain to strong transit-oriented development. TransLink operates this regional transportation network, serving over 400 million passengers annually across buses, SkyTrain, SeaBus, and commuter rail.

The region is now looking ahead to the future—rethinking how transit infrastructure supports growth, sustainability, and changing travel patterns. With its Transport 2050 vision, Metro Vancouver aims to shift from a car-influenced city to a transit-first, people-first region, where around 50% of all trips are made by public transit or active modes like walking and cycling.

Kevin Quinn is the CEO of TransLink, the statutory authority responsible for the region’s transportation system. In his role, he oversees planning, operations, and delivery across transit services, as well as key infrastructure including cycling networks, bridges, and the Major Road Network. Under his leadership, TransLink has recovered to over 90% of pre-pandemic ridership, delivered its largest bus service expansion in years, and is advancing major investments in future mobility. Prior to joining TransLink, Kevin served as Administrator and CEO of the Maryland Transit Administration (MTA), where he led one of the largest transit systems in the United States.
