Community engagement
Port Metro Vancouver takes a proactive role in its communities through a dynamic community relations program and generous community giving initiatives. We also work to develop community engagement opportunities that are defined by strong relationships, with a view of building sustainable futures together.
At Port Metro Vancouver we understand and respect the fact that port communities and their leadership want meaningful and ongoing input into the operation and expansion of port facilities and related transportation services.
Port Metro Vancouver’s community engagement approach is based on open two-way communication and meaningful public participation. We work with industry partners, municipalities and the broader community to raise awareness about Port Metro Vancouver, its operations and its impact on the community; build capacity for proactive problem-solving processes and dialogues at the community level; and reach consensus on solutions and future developments that all parties can embrace.
Truck Traffic Pilot Program
In an effort to mitigate the impact of increased numbers of container trucks travelling on Nanaimo Street (north of Broadway), Port Metro Vancouver implemented a 90-day Truck Traffic Pilot Program requiring container trucks to use only Major Road Network (MRN) authorized routes in Vancouver. The Pilot Program was extended until January 25, 2012.
Update: The Truck Traffic Pilot Program has ended. Click here to read the City of Vancouver's January 25, 2012 community update, outlining upcoming changes.
