Background: the September MOU
On September 22, the Province of B.C. and the Sea to Sky Regional Transit Committee, a body of the Squamish-Lillooet Regional District, signed a memorandum of understanding to plan governance, funding models and service models for interregional transit on the Highway 99 corridor, per the Squamish-Lillooet Regional District. No transit service was launched under the agreement, and it is not a party pledge. Corridor 99 covered the MOU signing in September.
The October 17 local election results for Whistler, Pemberton and Squamish are also available on Corridor 99.
