Public transit is an important element of the regional transportation network, and improving transportation linkages and options is noted as a key goal of the SLRD’s Regional Growth Strategy. With this, the transportation strategy in the SLRD’s Integrated Sustainability Plan establishes public transit as a preferred mode of transportation.
Public transit connects communities and increases mobility for people of all ages, helping to build a strong economy and contributing to the overall health and sustainability of our regional communities and ecosystems. Public transit conserves energy, relieves traffic congestion, reduces greenhouse gas emissions, enhances community resilience and improves air quality.
The Squamish-Lillooet Regional District does not currently operate a transit system. There are three separate and distinct public transit systems that operate within the Squamish-Lillooet Regional District, all operated by each municipality with BC Transit:
- Pemberton Valley Transit System (includes the Whistler commuter service)
- Whistler Transit System
- Squamish Transit System
