DriveBC enhances accessibility, user experience with new platform

British Columbia's government launched a revamped DriveBC platform, aimed at providing reliable road and weather information on provincial highways. The updated platform features an interactive map that replaces the former text-based layout, offering a streamlined experience for both desktop and mobile users. Enhanced route planning tools enable users to save specific trips and receive customized notifications, making travel decisions easier. The platform integrates travel advisories for weather and emergencies, ensuring users stay informed. Improved highway webcams deliver real-time conditions with a simplified layout.

Users can continue accessing the legacy site for a few months during the transition while offering feedback for ongoing improvements. These updates are based on user surveys and consultations with both the public and commercial drivers. More features are planned for the future, enhancing the platform's utility.
