On March 18, Whistler will join communities throughout BC and North America to show our appreciation for our local transit drivers.

Transit Driver Appreciation Day is an annual event that celebrates and highlights the commitment and hard work of the people behind the wheels of our buses.  

“During these challenging times, our transit drivers have showed up every day and supported our community by getting us to work, to school, to our appointments and safely home,” said Mayor Jack Crompton.  “We are extremely grateful for these everyday heroes.  Although they deserve gratitude every day, on March 18, join me in making that extra effort to show appreciation to our transit drivers by giving them an air-five and an extra thank you.”

Community members can also share their appreciation for our Whistler drivers by sending kudos via the BC Transit website at bctransit.com/contact.

Local transit is delivered through a partnership between Resort Municipality of Whistler (RMOW), BC Transit and Whistler Transit Ltd.  Transit service is offered 365 days a year with additional service added on most holidays and weekends.  For more information on transit, schedules and fees visit whister.ca/transit.
