DriveBC unveils updated platform in time for summer travel season

DriveBC has a new look.

The province unveiled a streamlined website Thursday where drivers can check road and weather conditions on provincial highways.

“The new DriveBC platform features a simplified map and a cleaner, more intuitive design for desktop and mobile users,” said a statement from the transportation ministry.

Drivers can access provincial and regional travel advisories on the site, and updates on weather conditions or emergencies that might impact travel.

The province says it also improved the route-planning feature, including allowing users to save their favourite trips and get custom notifications.

New tools have been added, including details on border crossings, chain-up areas and inland ferries.

The province says the update comes after consultations with the public, commercial drivers and other stakeholders.
