Kelowna needs transit, not traffic jams. 🌍
Kelowna's 10-Year Capital Plan borrows $667M for roads, costing Kelowna households nearly $11,000 each + interest 💸. This plan comes at the cost of cutting transit and active transportation (e.g., bike lanes and infrastructure), real solutions for congestion and meeting CleanBC climate action targets 🌱. Say no to a step backward, and let’s re-invest in sustainable transportation! 🚍🚲.

The Okanagan Transit Alliance
We envision a publicly-managed transit system for the Okanagan that is safe, sustainable, accessible, and community-driven, and that will meet the transportation needs of this growing region.
Our Principles
-
Public - Public transit should be accountable to the community it serves through transparent and responsible local decision making.
-
Accessible - Public transit should be reliable, inclusive, welcoming, and accessible to everyone without barriers, including financial barriers.
-
Community-driven - Public transit should be focused on collaboratively serving the needs of our diverse community, first and foremost.
