Many of the decisions regarding transit services and funding in the Victoria region are made by the Victoria Regional Transit Commission. The Commission is appointed by the Lieutenant Governor in Council from persons holding elected office, chosen from municipalities specified in the BC Transit Act.
The regional commission in Victoria consists of at least seven members. Two members of the Commission are appointed as directors of the BC Transit Board of Directors under the provisions of the BC Transit Act. In the Victoria regional transit service area, the Commission is responsible for:
- determining route configurations and transit service levels,
- setting fares,
- reviewing and making recommendations for the annual operating budget and capital spending, and
- raising the local share of the annual cost of transit service in the region.
