Updating the Name of the Motor Vehicle Act

Whereas the name of the Motor Vehicle Act, RSBC 1996, c 318 the MVA does not reflect its purpose of regulating rights and responsibilities in relation to all road users nor of its primary goal of ensuring safety; And whereas roads must serve a wide range and growing number of users in addition to motor vehicles, including pedestrians, cyclists, equestrians, those using other mobility devices and public transit: Therefore be it resolved that UBCM request the Province to change the name of the Motor Vehicle Act to the Road Safety Act.
