Drivers on Vancouver Island should expect icy roads overnight with quickly changing conditions that include snow and rain continuing through the remainder of this week.

People who rely on transit between the Westshore and downtown can expect faster, easier travel with RapidBus infrastructure upgrades coming to Highway 1 from McKenzie Interchange through to the Six Mile area.    

People who rely on wheelchair-accessible taxis will have more options to move between work, school and appointments as the Province helps to increase the number of accessible taxis.

Contractors that build and maintain British Columbia's transportation infrastructure have been honoured for their approach to service and innovation, while helping people and goods stay on the move.

A significant fall storm is impacting Vancouver Island. Downed power lines, debris and fallen trees have resulted in multiple highway closures on the island.

People travelling over the Malahat soon will have a smoother, safer journey ahead, as paving improvements will start this weekend during the evening of Sunday, Sept. 15, 2024.

Communities throughout British Columbia are invited to make active transportation an even better option for people to get around.

It will be another busy long weekend on British Columbia highways and motorists are urged to stay alert and drive safely.
