Ma serves as the Minister of Infrastructure, a new position in the Eby ministry created to deliver capital projects for the provincial government. She previously served in the Eby ministry as BC’s first Minister for Emergency Management and Climate Readiness. In the Horgan ministry following the 2020 election, Ma was the Minister of State for Infrastructure, a position that served under the Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure, and also served on the Treasury Board. Minister Ma's mandate included specific TransLink SkyTrain expansion projects, the Massey Tunnel replacement and completing the Pattullo Bridge. From 2017 to 2020, Ma served as the Parliamentary Secretary for TransLink, as a member of the Cabinet Housing Working Group Committee, as a member of the Select Standing Committee on Public Accounts, and as the Chair of the Select Standing Committee on Crown Corporations.
Ma graduated from the University of British Columbia in 2008 with a Bachelor of Applied Science degree in civil engineering, which included a focus in transportation, and then from the UBC Sauder School of Business in 2009 with a Master of Management degree. She is currently a Professional Engineer registered with the Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of British Columbia as well as a Project Management Professional. She served as an engineer and project manager at Vancouver International Airport prior to the 2017 election.
Prior to becoming involved in provincial politics, Ma led grassroots efforts against Bill C-51 after publicly challenging Justin Trudeau on his support for the bill during a public Q&A event at the University of British Columbia.
Ma was the fourth female president of the UBC Engineers and led the reform of the organization. Created in 2008, the Engineering Undergraduate Society of the University of British Columbia awards the "Bowinn Ma Award" annually "to the member of EUS Council who showed the most dedication to good governance, accountability, meeting and exceeding the fiduciary duty expected of an EUS Councilor".
In November 2023, Ma became the third woman in BC history to give birth as a sitting cabinet minister, and the 14th in Canada.
On June 27, 2025, an explosive device was detonated outside her constituency office, with no injuries reported.
Upon being elected as MLA for North Vancouver-Lonsdale, Ma created the Bowinn Ma MLA Social Justice Scholarship: three $500 community scholarships, awarded to one graduating high school student each from Carson Graham Secondary, Sutherland Secondary and the Squamish Nation. The scholarship is aimed at graduating high school students enrolled in a post-secondary institution who have demonstrated a commitment to social justice and overcome barriers or disadvantages in their life.
