The British Columbia government is funding the installation of portable toilets at several commercial vehicle pull-outs, inspection stations and chain-up spots throughout the province for truck drivers to use during the coronavirus pandemic.
The building of the new toilets began last weekend, adding around 20 toilets to commercial truck drivers’ routes. Commercial truck drivers play an important role in maintaining the supply chain during the pandemic by delivering essential goods.
The Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure is also keeping all rest areas open during the pandemic to continue to support the trucking industry.
