SPARC BC offers Accessible Parking Permits to use designated parking spaces for persons with disabilities in order to better access buildings and services.
Eligible persons with disabilities can apply for the fuel tax refund program to help reduce transportation costs.
Door-to-door shared rides for people with disabilities or temporary conditions preventing bus use.

There's a process to register mobility devices with the police, similar to registering bicycles.
Registration is free and assists police in returning registered items to the owner, if stolen.
Gather the make, model and serial number of the device and photos of the front, back, and sides. Register the device at the Project 529 website and print the registration form and bring it to the Qualicum Beach Community Safety Volunteer Office. They will give you a registration number and decal for your device.
