Dear Mayor Screech,
Re: BC Transit Act
Thank you for your letter regarding the Victoria Regional Transit Commission (VRTC). I am sorry for taking so long to reply.
I appreciate your continued interest in transit and your ongoing support of the VRTC. At this time, however, adjustments to the composition of the VRTC and subsequent changes to the BC Transit Act are not being considered.
The provincial government continues to prioritize infrastructure improvements to relieve congestion in Southern Vancouver Island. I encourage you to continue to engage with the VRTC on transit issues as we work together to help move people more efficiently within the Capital region.
Should you have any questions or want to discuss this matter, please do not hesitate to contact the ministry’s Senior Manager of Transit Initiatives, Bart Walman. Mr. Walman can be reached at 778 974-5017 or at Bart.Walman@gov.bc.ca and would be pleased to help you.
Thank you again for taking the time to write.
Yours sincerely,
Claire Trevena Minister
