There are three types of transit service in Salmon Arm & Area.

Fixed RouteTransit Service

The Fixed Route Transit Service is provided by a minibus that is in service throughout the day on regular routes from Monday to Saturday. The minibus carries 18 passengers and 2 wheelchairs. Residents who wish to use transit may board the bus at any regular bus stop.

Regional Transit Service

Regional Transit is available on Wednesdays to Silver Creek, Deep Creek and Enderby, and on Thursdays to Sorrento, Blind Bay and Eagle Bay.

handyDART

handyDART offers door-to-door service for passengers unable to use regular transit due to a disability. Passengers must first register with the system. There is no fee for registration.

Taxi Supplement Program

The Taxi Supplement Program enables the handyDART operator to book trips in taxis when the regular vehicle(s) is unavailable, either because of capacity issues or because the trip cannot be accommodated in a timely manner. In essence, the handyDART operator becomes one large regular client to the taxi company, while in turn the vehicles of the taxi company act like extra vehicles to the handyDART operator.

For instance, if a passenger requests a trip when the handyDART vehicle is unavailable, Taxi Supplement enables the handyDART dispatcher to relay the passenger's name, pickup and drop off details to a participating taxi company. The taxi company then slots that passenger into their bookings for the day and picks up and drops off the passenger at the assigned locations and times. There may be restrictions on the use of this service including requirements for ride sharing and budget limitations.
