    • Online engagement open: November 8th - 28th, 2023
    • Phase one engagement summary report: early 2024

Charting the course. A vision for coastal communities. Your community. Your ferries. Your say.

Transportation, transit and ferry systems around the world are under pressure resulting from the pandemic, population growth, climate change, inflation and other factors. BC’s coastal ferry system is no exception, and BC Ferries is responding with actions to address current operational issues. BC Ferries is also embarking on a long-term transformative journey to reshape our coastal ferry services in response to the evolving needs of the communities we serve. Charting the Course aims to define what is needed to keep people, goods, and services in coastal communities connected and moving through to 2050 and beyond. Recognizing the challenges and opportunities posed by long-term trends in population growth, affordability, technological advances, the rise of electric vehicles and climate change impacts, we are committed to creating a ferry system that's sustainable, resilient and equipped to serve future generations.

Hearing from you is an important part of this initiative to help us build a more sustainable and resilient ferry system. We believe that the coastal ferry service should be a vital component of British Columbia’s extensive transportation network, and your input is invaluable in helping us achieve this.

Your voice matters! 

This survey is to hear from you on the long-term priorities for the coastal ferry system. By taking this survey, you're helping us: 

  • Understand your priorities and preferences 
  • Shape services and policies in the future 
  • Strengthen our commitment to you and our coastal communities
