Ride-Hailing Opportunities in the West Kootenays, BC

Coastal Rides is working to bring flexible, community-first ride-hailing to the West Kootenays. This scenic region, known for its mountain towns, lakes, and vibrant arts and culture, deserves transportation options that reflect its dynamic and connected communities.

Expanding Local Transportation in the West Kootenays

We’re looking for people across the region—including Nelson, Castlegar, Trail, Rossland, Kaslo, New Denver, Silverton, Slocan, Nakusp, and surrounding areas—who want to help improve local access. You might be a great fit if you are:

  • A local leader interested in helping introduce Coastal Rides and grow ridership in your town
  • A contract driver with a Class 1, 2, or 4 BC driver’s licence and a vehicle that’s under 10 years old
  • Someone who values community and wants to create reliable transportation options for others

All drivers must complete a background check and pass a commercial vehicle inspection. This isn’t just a driving job—it’s a chance to provide an essential service while earning flexible income on your terms.

Community-First Ride-Hailing

Coastal Rides is a BC-based platform, designed with small towns and regional centres in mind. We support local drivers with an easy-to-use app, built-in payment processing, and customer support that understands your community.
