Pemberton Transit Fare Review Survey

The Pemberton Valley Transit System is seeking feedback from the public as a part of the fare review process. The fare review process looks to assess existing fare pricing and products to ensure they balance affordability, ridership growth, and cost recovery (the percentage of transit operating expenses which are funded by passenger fare revenue).  As a part of this process, the Village of Pemberton, Lil'wat First Nation, and the Squamish Lillooet Regional District (SLRD) invite you to complete this short survey and provide your input on changes being considered for local and commuter transit in Pemberton Valley.

Why are fares being reviewed?

Fares are an essential part of funding and maintaining public transportation in your community. The fare review process is typically undertaken on a three to five-year cycle, however the fare review process was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic and restrictions from Safe Restart funding that limited fare increases during that time. 

The last and only change to fare products occurred in June 2024, when a DayPass product was introduced to allow unlimited travel on both Pemberton Local and Commuter routes. Prior to this, fares did not increase since the service launched in April 2011. Since this time, demand for transit and the cost of operation has continued to increase necessitating a review of fare products and pricing.

How is transit funded?

Funding to maintain and expand transit service comes from a variety of sources, including provincial and municipal government contributions. Municipal funding is sourced from property taxes and transit passenger fare revenue.

About the Questions Ahead


This survey begins with a few optional demographic questions to help BC Transit understand how people with diverse lived experiences are using transit services. These questions are aligned with B.C.’s Anti-Racism Data Act and analyzed using an equity lens to better serve all communities—especially those who have been underserved in the past. These questions come first to ensure your perspectives are meaningfully included in the overall analysis. You may skip any questions you’re not comfortable answering.
