BC Transit is a Crown Corporation governed by a Board of Directors, which is appointed by the Province according to criteria specified in the British Columbia Transit Act. The Act requires four of the board members to be locally-elected representatives. The Board of Directors, through the Chair, reports to the Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure (designated as the Minister responsible for BC Transit).
