Changing how we work to reduce our carbon footprint.

From helping at the roadside, to insurance, mobility and more, BCAA has many opportunities to make smart decisions about how we operate – to deliver the best service experiences for our Members and customers, while also reducing our impact on the environment.

We’re continuing our commitment to zero emission vehicles by including more electric vehicles in our Roadside Assistance fleet, and there’s higher uptake of our electric vehicle options at Evo Car Share. BCAA is also supporting people considering an EV with helpful online tools and resources including cost calculators.

Beyond electrification, BCAA’s remote and hybrid workplace policies and support for active commuting are more ways we’re working to reduce our carbon footprint. Some team members can work full or part time from home, and members of our Roadside Assistance fleet start their shift from home, rather than driving in to a central location. BCAA has also moved much of our robust professional development, insurance, and technical training online, reducing emissions from travel.

No car? No problem!

Crystal Radford, Impact Specialist at BCAA, sold her car and uses Evo Car Share and transit to get around.

In my previous job, I needed my vehicle every day. But when I started working at BCAA and was able to work some days from home, I found I wasn’t using my car as often. Considering the costs of gas, maintenance, insurance and parking for a car I wasn’t driving much, I decided to sell it and instead rely on Evo and transit.

Evo gets me to work, around town, and even on road trips. This past summer my friend and I took an Evo to Penticton, and it was so good having a reliable, safe vehicle that’s great on gas with lots of space for our gear.

Being an Evo Car Share Member saves me money and it’s also in line with my personal values. I care about reducing my carbon footprint and making climate-aware decisions. Using Evo and transit with friends is economical, flexible and it feels good to be part of something that makes a difference.
