  3. #Cowichan Valley residents adapt to life without #PublicTransit as strike enters 4th month.
    #PeopleWithDisabilities , #students & #seniors struggle with the lack of options for #transportation in the Cowichan Valley.

    #UniforLocal114 & #UniforLocal333BC the union representing 44 drivers, mechanics& cleaners, have been on strike since Feb. 8. They are advocating for wages similar to their counterparts in Victoria, better access to washroom facilities & more consistent breaks. #Workers have since voted against a new contract with their employer, #TransDev & the strike reaches 105 days, there is still no end in sight. As a result of the strike, #transit in the Cowichan Valley has been on hold, interfering with where and how people move through the community. #HandyDart services are still available but only for medical appointments related to renal dialysis, cancer treatment & multiple sclerosis.

  5. Shoutout to all the #HandyDart & #Taxi drivers in #VictoriaBC who are great with remembering my transportation safety needs & happily wear quality masks when they transport me to/from work.

  7. The union for employees of #BritishColumbia's #HandyDART #transit service says it's suspending all job action pending a vote on a final contract offer from employer #TransdevCanada.

    There had been the possibility of strike action on the door-to-door service on Monday if a deal wasn't struck.

    Joe McCann, president of #Local1724 of the #AmalgamatedTransitUnion, says the vote will happen soon after information meetings being held Sunday and Monday for members.

    TransLink, Metro #Vancouver's regional transit provider, warned that the service could be disrupted next week as the deadline for contract negotiations was set to expire Sunday evening.

    #TransLink said that even if the strike went ahead, service would continue for those needing rides to medical treatments for cancer and other illnesses.

  9. 'A lack of reliable #wheelchair #accessible #transportation for people with #mobility issues isn’t anything new on the Semiahmoo Peninsula, or even across #BritishColumbia & all of #Canada .
    While #HandyDART can be an option for the #accessible community, it’s not a program everyone chooses to use, or may be eligible for.'

    I use HandyDart - limited in service areas. It's difficult organizing connections to nearby regions outside YYJ main areas, where I sometimes work.
