The City of Maple Ridge is joining a group of advocates calling for improved HandyDART service, by making it a subsidiary of TransLink.
Councillors agreed on April 23 that the city be a signatory to an open letter to Minister of Transportation Rob Fleming, and Minister of State for Transit Dan Coulter, calling for improvements to the service for passengers with physical or cognitive disabilities. Maple Ridge was asked to join on behalf of residents who rely on the service.
A group of unions, disability advocates, and municipalities formed to voice concerns over service levels in the Metro Vancouver HandyDART system, and what it calls a “worsening crisis.”
