BCTA’s Provincial Rest Area Profiling & Improvement Survey Series 1:
|
Series 1: Trans-Canada Highway 1 and Coquihalla (Highway 5) Route to Calgary/Alberta Border
Introduction:
A top lobbying priority for the BC Trucking Association (BCTA) has been to advocate for improvements of commercial rest areas that strengthen health and safety standards and accommodate the needs of commercial vehicle drivers and the industry at large. Based on these collective efforts the Province of BC has initiated the development of a Provincial Rest Area Master Plan. This Plan will identify the status, gaps and opportunities to inform improvement measures and future provincial rest area capital spending.
Purpose and Expected Outcomes:
BCTA’s Rest Area Profiling and Improvement Survey Series will capture feedback from the commercial transportation industry that will help inform the Province’s Rest Area Master Plan and guide ongoing rest area improvement survey priorities and advocacy for our industry.
Survey Series 1 will focus on BC Highway 1 and the Coquihalla (Highway 5) route to the Calgary/Alberta border, as this route is both vital and heavily utilized for transporting consumer goods.
