More handyDART Service on the Sunshine Coast

Tags:  2024 | News Release
Date Released: August 22, 2024

Late last year, Sunshine Coast Regional District (SCRD) and BC Transit staff checked in with the community as part of a review of the handyDART service. Focus groups took place in the community and feedback on the handyDART service was received through a survey.

A recap on all of this engagement can be in the summary linked here.  The intent of the engagement was to help guide recommendations for handyDART service improvements as well as future service expansion priorities.

Great news! All of the feedback received by the SCRD and BC Transit has helped to shape an expansion of the service here on the Sunshine Coast!

Starting September 3, 2024, weekday service will be extended by half an hour, with the service running from 8:30 a.m. until 5 p.m.

Saturday service will now be increased and available from 9:30 a.m. until 5 p.m., and Sunday handyDART service is being introduced, also from 9:30 a.m. until 5 p.m.

The SCRD is very grateful to everyone who took part and had their say on handyDART.
