The Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure, together with several Lower Mainland municipalities and the commercial transport industry, are making Project Cargo Corridor permits available. Commercial truck drivers will experience significant time savings on their journeys, thanks to a new streamlined provincial and municipal trip permitting process to and from the Lower Mainland (Fraser Surrey Docks and Lynnterm East Gate) and the Alberta border via Highway 16. The hope that this will reduce the red tape and increase confidence for carriers and shippers in order to attract more specialized products through BC ports. The new permit process will be evaluated throughout the first year of operation, with potential to expand to other highway corridors in the future.
