Charting a New Course: The Future of BC Ferries NEW FERRIES MODEL MEANS BETTER SERVICE, BC Ferries will be transformed into a customer-focused and financially stable marine transportation system that improves services and revitalizes the economy of the province’s coastal communities. BC Ferries, which currently operates as a taxpayer-supported Crown corporation, will be restructured into an independent company under the B.C. Company Act and will be renamed BC Ferry Services. The new operating company will be governed by the British Columbia Ferry Authority, an oversight body modelled along the lines of the successful Vancouver International Airport Authority. An independent regulator will be appointed to regulate rates and protect consumers’ interests. |
