2022 Squamish Transit Future Action Plan

In 2020, the District of Squamish began working with BC Transit to develop a Transit Future Action Plan. The Plan builds off the previous Sea to Sky Transit Future Plan (2015). It identifies short and medium-term service and infrastructure priorities for the Squamish local transit system and was supported by Squamish Council in June 2022. Read the Transit Future Action Plan. To understand current and future transit needs, extensive engagement was conducted. Find the Squamish Transit Future Action Plan Engagement Report on our Master Plans and Strategies page.

Please note that some expansions proposed in the 2022 Transit Future Action Plan have been delayed due to the availability of the Provincial funding contribution.

The handyDART service is offered Monday to Friday.

To help make getting around without a car easier, all BC Transit buses are fitted with a bike rack that can carry up to 2 bikes at a time. See the image below on how to load and unload your bike. Before getting off the bus, be sure to inform the driver you will be unloading your bike. 

Each bus allows for two full-sized bikes. Let the driver know you wish to load your bike then follow these steps:

1. Lower the bike rack by pulling the yellow handle up, then out, and down.  Now the bike rack is in place and you can load your bike.
2. Load you bike with the front of the bike toward the yellow arm. Load the rack closest to the bus first.
3. Pull yellow arm out an up over front tire to secure bike. 

To remove, perform all actions in reverse and lift rack to upright position. Click in place, move away and signal to the driver.
