Transportation

Our Official Community Plan and Transportation Master Plan updates are underway. We are reviewing how our city will grow over the next 20 years and how to connect people to the places that matter to them. Through this process, we will look at how our streets can serve a broader range of users and transportation modes – whether it is walking, biking or taking transit.

The City of West Kelowna also works with BC Transit, consults with the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure and participates in regional transportation planning programs with other local governments.

Bus - BC Transit

Services are provided in West Kelowna through the Kelowna Regional Transit System, managed by BC Transit. Present and proposed future improvements to the system can be found at: Transit Future Action Plan Update

handyDART

handyDART is an accessible, door-to-door shared service for people with permanent or temporary disabilities who can't easily use fixed-route transit without assistance from another person. To register or book at trip, visit handyDART.

Cycling

Our Pedestrian and Bicycle Plan provides a practical approach for improving cycling facilities in West Kelowna. The principles are to:

Support active transportation, recreational activity and tourism
Connect to regional transportation routes
Provide route alternatives to Highway 97
Improve routes with gentler grades (less than 8%)
Create multi-use facilities along the waterfront

Sidewalks and walkways

Our Pedestrian and Bicycle Plan provides a practical approach for improving sidewalks and walkways in the community. The principles are to:

Improve accessibility to schools, community centres and transit
Make our urban centres more pedestrian friendly
Link neighbourhoods to shopping areas
Create links between other popular destinations such as parks and attractions
