Transportation Assessment of the Central & North Coast of BC mandate, a positive change that is ascribed to the management of the CEO David Hahn. There is a longstanding system of community-based ferry advisory committees (FAC) in the province and there is a Northern Ferry Advisory Committee. It meets one to two times per year and the minutes are posted on the BC Ferries’ web site. However the meetings are staged in private and although knowledgeable persons with deep community roots are appointed to the committees, these appointments are made by BC Ferries and not by community entities. They do not have independent budgets or staff help, and appear to have limited control over the meeting agenda and follow-up by BC Ferries on recommendations. There is a BC Ferries Commissioner that has a role in monitoring BC Ferries adherence to its contract with the BC Government and the average level of ferry fares. It has a decision making role when BC Ferries proposes to discontinue a route but has no role in deciding if a new route should be supported as either an unregulated or regulated route. The following graphic illustrates avenues for public input about BC Ferries. The graphic shows the complexity of influencing the various aspects of ferry service delivery in the province but it also minimizes the role of the BC Government as BC Ferries negotiates its service plans and service fees with its owner, the BC Government.

Transportation Assessment of the Central & North Coast of BC Service strategies and funding decisions for the scheduled and unscheduled (contracted) routes ultimately are finalized through discussions and negotiations with the BC Government. The provincial government, particularly the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure, plays a very important role in the delivery, support and regulation of all modes of transportation. The BC government needs to work more closely with the communities of the Planning Area to identify the critical problems, develop a regional transportation strategy, and commit to its implementation. This will be essential in helping to eradicate the atmosphere of uncertainty that currently prevails, and stimulating new economic and community growth. Chisholm Consulting 77
