Since that time, Northern Development has assumed responsibility for making funds available to support a long-haul service (300+ kilometres) in Northern B.C., as well as inter-community shuttle services (100+ kilometres). Today, the Trust funds the BC Bus North Service as well as 15 community shuttle services.

    • Prince George to Valemount, and return
    • Fort St. John to Fort Nelson, and return
