Big News! We invite you to join us at the launch of the Public Transit Alliance of BC, a coalition of advocacy groups from across BC. We - WE-CAN - have been working to build the Alliance for 6 months, and we are ready to roll!
|
|
|
For the first time, BC will have a strong group arguing for better transit across BC, from Atlin to Zeballos. Better in our towns and cities, and better across BC’s rural and remote areas, where public transit is effectively non-existent. We also support railways, wherever they are feasible.
