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.

HandyDART
The Squamish Transit System also offers handyDART transit, a shared door-to-door service for registered riders with permanent or temporary disabilities that prevent them from using fixed-route transit without assistance from another person. HandyDART hours of operation, a booking number and application forms are available online. To register to become a new handyDART user click here.
The handyDART service is offered Monday to Friday.
Transit Planning
BC Transit and the District of Squamish are continually working to improve our transit system. This includes increasing frequency, modifying or adding routes, and improving bus stops. Improvements are guided by transit planning processes.
Loading a Bike on the Bus
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.
To contact the local transit operator, or provide feedback on the transit service, please use the contact page.
