As of January 1, 2008 BCTS will be implementing the Resource Road Radio Frequency Pilot Project in the Eve / Naka operating area. Other operating areas within the Strait of Georgia will have the implemented during 2008. For more information please read the documents below We are planning to use channel RR-17A in the Eve / Naka area. However, as this is a pilot project, this frequency may be changed if difficulties are encountered. It is highly recommended that you have all the Resource Road and Loading/Unloading channels installed on your radio to avoid repeated trips to the radio shop. During the course of this pilot project FERIC will be monitoring its' effectiveness and conducting interviews. Your co-operation with FERIC would be greatly appreciated.

BCTS is fully committed to making this project work and welcomes any feedback you may have. Any general road safety issues can be brought up to the BC Forest Safety Council through Forestry Trucksafe at arcand@bcforestsafe.org. For any issues related to the radio frequencies in the Eve / Naka area please feel free to contact BCTS Strait of Georgia.
