The B.C. Ministry of Transportation (the Proponent or MOT) is responsible for developing and delivering the Port Mann/ Highway 1 project (PMH1 or the Project), one of three component projects of the Gateway Program. The Gateway Program was established by the Province of British Columbia in response to the impact of growing regional congestion, and to improve the movement of people, goods and transit throughout Greater Vancouver.
