Overview
Many of the decisions regarding transit services and funding
in the Victoria region are made by the Victoria Regional Transit
Commission. The Commission is appointed by the Lieutenant
Governor in Council from persons holding elected office, chosen
from municipalities specified in the BC Transit Act.
The regional commission in Victoria consists of at least
seven members. Two members of the Commission are appointed
as directors of BC Transit under the provisions of the BC
Transit Act. In the Victoria Regional transit service
area, the Commission is responsible for:
- determining route configurations and transit service levels,
- setting fares,
- reviewing and making recommendations for the annual operating
budget and capital spending, and
- raising the local share of the annual cost of transit
service in the region.
