BC Transit Seeking Input on Creston Valley Transit

CRESTON – BC Transit and the Regional District of Central Kootenay are pleased to invite residents of the Creston Valley to comment on options for transit service at an Open House next Tuesday February 14, 2012.

“This is a great opportunity to work with BC Transit to remodel the Creston Valley Transit system,” said John Kettle, Board Chair of the Regional District. “We need to provide a transit system for our residents that is both functional and sustainable for the future”.

“It is important that the local community has had the opportunity to provide comments,” said Manuel Achadinha, President and CEO of BC Transit. “Successful transit requires the input of the community.”

“I encourage residents and businesses to attend the open house to offer ideas on ways to improve transit service,” said East Kootenay MLA Bill Bennett. “Transit service works best when it is shaped by the people who use it. I look forward to hearing about results of this open house.”
