An anticipated transit strike may disrupt bus service to and from UFV and throughout the Fraser Valley as the union representing transit workers could withdraw services on Monday, Feb 27 and Tuesday, Feb 28.
Please note essential HandyDART services will not be affected.
All UFV classes and activities at all campuses will continue as scheduled under normal operating hours.
Transit areas affected:
Abbotsford, Mission, Chilliwack, Harrison, Agassiz, the District of Kent, and Hope. The Fraser Valley Express service (#66) could also be withdrawn.
Please contact your instructor if, after investigating alternative ways to campus, you are concerned about potentially arriving late or missing classes.
Increased traffic:
UFV campuses may experience an increase in vehicle traffic which will impact parking lots and drop-off zones. Please allow extra time for your commute.
Carpooling, car sharing, and drop-off/pick-up:
You may want to investigate ride sharing with other students, family, or friends or look at using online carpool apps or ride share providers.
If you are being dropped off and picked up at UFV, please ensure you plan these locations in advance.
Further updates will be posted to ufv.ca and shared over UFV’s social media.
