Over the years, FBC has partnered on many key green transportation initiatives. These include:

  • testing of alternative technologies and fuels by BC fleets
  • roll-out of BC’s first big rig enviroTrucks to showcase higher-efficiency engines and auxiliary devices
  • creation of E3 Fleet (now managed by Richmond Sustainability Initiatives), Canada's first national program dedicated to green performance in fleets of vehicles
  • support for electric vehicle charging stations in BC public spaces, workplaces, stratas and fleets
  • introduction of BC’s first electric vehicles into fleet operations and ongoing support for provincial incentives to electrify fleets
  • support for incentives for specialty use electric vehicles
  • public education through Emotive - The Electric Vehicle Experience

About the Fraser Basin Council

The Fraser Basin Council (FBC) is a charitable non-profit organization that brings people together to advance sustainability in British Columbia.

Where We Work

We are grateful to live and work on the unceded ancestral territories of the Indigenous Nations of British Columbia.

Our Vision

Social well-being supported by a vibrant economy and sustained by a healthy environment.

Strategic Priorities

At the Fraser Basin Council, our strategic priorities are to take action on climate change, support healthy watersheds and water resources, and build sustainable and resilient communities.

With our partners, we work on a range of collaborative, multi-sector initiatives, such as those focused on flood management, community wildfire planning, air quality improvement, energy-efficient buildings, green transportation (including the uptake of electric vehicles and expansion of charging infrastructure), watershed planning and youth-driven climate action projects.
