The Government of British Columbia (B.C.) is funding the installation of portable toilets at several commercial vehicle pull-outs, inspection stations and chain-up locations throughout the province to help improve travel for commercial truck drivers.

Installation of the additional portable toilets has already begun, with completion over the coming weeks to provide more options for commercial drivers. Approximately 20 portable toilets have been installed at commercial pull-outs and inspection stations, and the Province will look at adding additional ones in the coming weeks.

The Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure is also keeping all rest areas open during the outbreak to continue to support the trucking industry. Maintenance contractors are working to keep these facilities clean, sanitary and well supplied. If people encounter less than ideal conditions at any provincial rest area, they are encouraged to contact the appropriate maintenance contractor or nearest ministry office.
