Changes to BC Ferries Accessible Fare Identification Card
BC Ferries recently announced changes to the BC Ferries Accessible Fare Identification (AFI) Card. The card allow eligible BC residents with a permanent disability—and one personal attendant 12 years and older, if required— to receive a 50% discount on passenger fares.
The card now expires and has to be renewed every two years. However, applicants can now show proof of receiving PWD or CPP-D and be approved for the card without providing any additional medical information. People with disabilities who cannot provide PWD or CPP-D documentation must still have their medical practitioner complete Section C of the application form.
Download the AFI Card application form here.
