Government is taking action to ensure that everyone who holds a BC Bus Pass will continue to have access to public transit systems across the province now that TransLink is closing its fare gates.

To create equity in the system the Province is investing $170 million over the next three years to ensure about 100,000 people on disability assistance in B.C. will receive a rate increase of up to $77 a month as of Sept. 1, 2016.

Unifor Local 333 and BC Transit have ratified an agreement negotiated under the Economic Stability Mandate.

British Columbians throughout the province are benefiting from the actions included in the one-year progress update on Accessibility 2024.

The B.C. government, acting on recommendations from the community, has completed a $3-million investment to improve safety at the Highway 17/Sayward Road intersection in Saanich.

This week the environment is taking centre stage as British Columbia continues to preserve and protect the environment.
