handyDART, is an accessible, door-to-door shared transit service for people with permanent or temporary disabilities that prevent them from using fixed-route transit without assistance from another person.

handyDART picks registered clients up at their accessible door and drops them off at the accessible door of their destination. This is a BC Transit service that is operated by the Sunshine Coast Regional District (SCRD) on the Sunshine Coast.

BC Transit and the SCRD are currently reviewing the handyDART service in order to make recommendations for current service improvements as well as future service expansion priorities.

Your participation will directly contribute to a forthcoming handyDART Services Report, which will outline potential improvements and enhancements to benefit handyDART riders and caregivers in the region. Your input is the key to unlocking a more accessible, efficient, and reliable transit future for the Sunshine Coast.

Three activities are underway as part of this review.

1. Focus groups - The SCRD and BC Transit hosted focus groups in late November.

2. handyDART user survey - BC Transit is reaching out directly to handyDART users to get their feedback on the service. There is also a survey for handyDART users that is available from drivers on handyDART buses.

3. handyDART general survey - This is survey can be taken by clicking the 'Take Survey' link below. This survey is looking for responses from those in the community who are non-handyDART users. This could be someone who is involved in the care of a handyDART client, represents a community group that cares for, or advocates for, handyDART clients or members of the community who would like to provide input into the handyDART program.



Paper copies of this survey are also available at the following locations:

  • Gibsons and District Public Library, 470 South Fletcher Road, Gibsons
  • Gibsons and Area Community Centre, 700 Park Road, Gibsons
