For 30 years the HandyDART service has serviced the greater Vancouver area. From it's humble beginning of Tim Louis running this service from personal vehicles, to BC Transit seeing it's potential as part of the greater Transit service. We are currently 540 Union members who are dedicated to the service of  HandyDART.

For decades BC Transit ran this services through local societies from different districts. In 2008 a decision was made to combine eight HandyDART operations into one. The RFP successful bidder was MV Transportation, a company based out of California. There were three different unions representing the HandyDART workers. Later that year a vote was taken by all unionized workers and the Amalgamated Transit Union was the successful union to represent all HandyDART workers.

As in the past, these contracts for service are up for review every 3 to 5 years. At the time of review, the Transit Authority (Translink) or the company can cancel their continuation of service which leaves these workers jobs unstable and in jeopardy.

We believe in the empowerment this service gives to our clients to enjoy a life without restrictions of mobility. We work to bring a better service to our valued clients and theTransit service at large.
