As a membership-based, grassroots organization we rely on our fellow transit riders getting involved to make change happen. If you are interested in helping improve Victoria’s transit system for the better, please get in touch with us about how you can contribute. Here are some ideas, but we are open to discussing what works best for you.
Write a letter to the Minister
The Union of BC Municipalities passed a resolution for fare free transit for students in Sept 2024. Write to the BC Minister of Transportation and urge them to fund and implement this program province wide. (See resolution NEB10 in the UBCM 2024 Resolution Disposition)
