The Council of Senior Citizens’ Organization (COSCO) is a not-for-profit, non-partisan umbrella organization that represents 65 affiliated member groups including 85,000 older adults and retirees located in all regions of British Columbia. We advocate for policies that allow seniors to remain active, independent, and fully engaged in the life of our province.
BC’s Motor Vehicle Act presently inhibits the ability of seniors to be active, independent, and engaged by creating a legal grey area regarding the use of wheelchairs and 3 & 4 wheel mobility scooters on bike and roll lanes and routes.1 We respectfully ask that you make the needed changes to allow wheelchairs and 3 & 4 wheel mobility scooters on bike and roll routes province-wide without delay.
