Transportation and infrastructure

Unlike municipalities, like the Town of Gibsons, regional districts do not have authority over roads, so all roads are the responsibility of BC’s Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure (MOTI). MOTI in turn contracts out road maintenance to a private company, Capilano Highways, which is responsible for filling potholes, painting lines, sweeping, mowing shoulders, and clearing snow. Highway 101 Drivebc Webcam. British Columbia Ferry Service provides transportation services via the Langdale Terminal and Horsehoe Bay Terminal.
