The transit strike is anticipated to continue throughout the UFV exam period. All UFV exams at all campuses will continue as scheduled.
Students: please allow extra time for your commute. If you cannot get to campus because you depend on transit, please be sure to contact your instructor or your professor well before your exam.
Faculty: thank you in advance for your efforts to accommodate students that require assistance. Please feel free to reach out to the Teaching and Learning Centre for support in identifying options if needed.
HandyDART service for customers will have limited availability according to this bulletin.
The UFV SUS shuttle will continue to run — updates will be posted on the SUS shuttle page.
Transit areas affected:
Abbotsford, Mission, Chilliwack, Harrison, Agassiz, the District of Kent, and Hope. The Fraser Valley Express service (#66) will also be impacted.
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 fellow students or colleagues. Options include 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 on UFV’s social media channels.

Great job for accommodating every student’s needs in a commuter school. (sarcasm alert) I pay 8k in fees every semester and have to uber to school every day. Great. Thank you.
Hi “notgonnatellyou”,
Sarcasm alert received.
We understand it’s been difficult and we also understand from student survey results that many faculty are making accommodations for students who cannot get to campus due to the bus strike. Please be sure to speak with your faculty member to find out if alternatives exist for you. Also, the SUS Shuttle bus is still running and may be useful in getting you to campus. We sincerely wish you the best on your exams and for the summer.
