Thinking about buying a wheelchair van in BC, but unsure what licence your drivers need? You’re not alone. Many organizations run into this question early in planning. Accessible transportation is a real need across the province. In fact, about 27 percent of Canadians aged 15 and older live with a disability, according to <\/span>Statistics Canada<\/span><\/a>. That means many people across Vancouver, Kelowna, Prince George, and smaller communities in British Columbia rely on accessible rides to reach healthcare, <\/span>community programs<\/span><\/a>, and daily services.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If you’re planning to add a wheelchair van in BC, the last thing you want is to buy a vehicle and then learn your team cannot legally drive it. That gap can slow down your program and create compliance concerns. More importantly, it delays support for people who rely on your services. You’re working to remove barriers to mobility and care. Licensing confusion should not become another obstacle.<\/span><\/p>\n
