This indicator measures the percentage of developed properties (with registered addresses) in the region that are within one kilometre of a fixed route operated by BC Transit. Spatial data for this indicator were provided by BC Transit and analysed by the Selkirk Geospatial Research Centre. Public transit provides an important service to Basin-Boundary residents who cannot, or prefer not to, drive to the places where they live, work, go to school or recreate. Since users of transit often include vulnerable citizens, transit services encourage inclusive communities. Public transit also enables energyefficient commuting, which can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
