BC Public Transit Alliance launch
We would like to invite you to join us for the launch of the Public Transit Alliance of BC, a new coalition bringing together advocacy groups from across the province to imagine and realize better public transit for everyone. It’s on Tuesday April 28th, at 6pm. You can register here: https://
Our MC is Heather Maclean, Executive Director of LET’S. Confirmed speakers include:
- George Anderson, MLA, Parliamentary Secretary for Transit
- Eric Doherty, Transportation planner
- Keith Wiley, West Kootenay Transit Action
- Paul Adams, BC Rural Health Network
The Alliance envisions a British Columbia where everyone can get where they need to go safely, reliably, affordably, and accessibly, with care, comfort, and connection.
BC now has a strong, coordinated, province-wide alliance focused on ensuring that public transportation works for all of us – in the North, on the Islands, in our towns and cities, and in rural and remote communities where public transit is still inaccessible, unavailable, or effectively non-existent. We also support railways wherever they are feasible.
Join us for our launch event to hear from speakers, learn about the Alliance’s goals, and be part of this determined new chapter for transportation equity in BC. We will share our inaugural campaign for a province-wide interconnected bus service. Find out how your voice, skills, experience, and networks can help. We’re looking for allies, advocates, and amplifiers at every level.
The Public Transit Alliance of BC organizes on the traditional territories of the many First Nations that reside within the colonial borders of BC. We respect the leading role that First Nations are playing as they work to achieve improved public transit within their territories. As rights holders with inherent and constitutionally protected rights to self-determination, First Nations need to be included at every stage as public transit infrastructure is advanced, including processes that uphold their free, prior, and informed consent and self-determination.
We’d love your help in spreading the word – please share this invitation with your networks.
