WHEREAS the Corporation of the City of Penticton wishes to provide extended transit service within the City of Penticton; AND WHEREAS population growth is creating increased demands for additional routes and increased hours of transit service: THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Union of BC Municipalities request that the Province and BC Transit no longer require municipalities to pay 100 of service expansions but continue to use a cost sharing arrangement as currently used in existing agreements.
Ministry of Transportation The Province of British Columbia Province has been conducting a review of BC Transits governance and funding. This review is addressing a number of issues that both the Province and local government partners have identified with the current governance and funding framework. It would be premature for the government to make funding changes or commitments prior to the completion of the review.
