Create a BC Ferries Charter to outline performance and service expectations
"Hold the BC Ferry Authority accountable: We will ensure that coastal communities have a strong voice in ferry operations. A BC Ferries Charter will be established to clearly outline the performance and service expectations of the Ferry Authority. Should they fail to meet these expectations, we will seek new leadership capable of delivering the reliable and timely service residents depend on." — Common Sense Change for British Columbia, retrieved 2024-10-15
Tie executive compensation to performance metrics
"Hold management accountable: Coastal residents deserve dependable service. We will tie a portion of executive compensation to performance metrics, ensuring that BC Ferries’ leadership is directly accountable for meeting service delivery commitments." — Common Sense Change for British Columbia, retrieved 2024-10-15
Start a monthly flat-fee programme or similar measure for frequent ferry users
"Help frequent users: Many coastal and island residents are travelling regularly for work. We will consult with commuters and other frequent users to design a monthly flat-fee program or other measures that will improve certainty and reduce the hassle of frequent ticket purchases." — Common Sense Change for British Columbia, retrieved 2024-10-15
Consider small electric autonomous and semi-autonomous ferries for walk-on passengers
"Explore innovative technology including small electric autonomous and semi- autonomous ferries for walk-on passengers, which are operating successfully in Europe and have the potential to improve service on shorter routes with high walk-on demand." — Common Sense Change for British Columbia, retrieved 2024-10-15
Require public reporting from BC Ferries on solutions and timelines for fixing bottlenecks on critical routes
"End the bottlenecks: Critical routes such as Horseshoe Bay, Departure Bay, and Tsawwassen have long been over-capacity, with no meaningful action from the BC NDP. We will direct the Ferry Authority to resolve these issues and require public reporting on solutions and timelines." — Common Sense Change for British Columbia, retrieved 2024-10-15
Introduce domestic content scenarios to RFPs
"Introduce domestic content scenarios to RFPs so decision makers can evaluate bids for scenarios with and without BC suppliers, to ensure that the full extent of potential benefits to British Columbians are being evaluated alongside lowest-bid scenarios." — Common Sense Change for British Columbia, retrieved 2024-10-15
We don't have any BC Greens policies on BC Ferries.
