The Ministry of Transportation and Transit is considering changes to the BC Motor Vehicle Act to improve transportation safety and affordability, and is inviting local governments to participate in an informal working group.
Priority areas include:
- Commercial vehicle safety and enforcement,
- Protections for vulnerable road users (speed reduction and intersection safety), and
- New traffic control devices that support active transportation.
Senior transportation staff in all local governments are invited to review and comment on policy proposals under consideration. Participating individuals will be required to sign a Confidentiality Agreement. Note that this project includes both amendments under current consideration as well as regulations that may be required in the future. The informal working group is expected to operate over a two-year period.
To participate, email the Strategic Policy and Legislation Branch by March 24, 2026.
