Victoria, British Columbia — The Automotive Retailers Association (ARA) has announced significant updates to the Impound Lot Operators (ILO) program, as recently announced by Road Safety B.C. (RSBC).

As noted in a recent press release, the new rates–as well as a revamped rate-setting methodology and other administrative changes–mark a major milestone for ILOs.

These updates specifically include the discontinuation of the order for release for vehicles impounded for 30 days and 60 days, and the discontinuation of the statutory declaration associated with disposals and refuse to issue applications.

Additionally, these updates represent part of a ten-year project that first began in 2014 when the ARA lobbied for new administrative fees to be applied to all impound vehicles, both claimed and unclaimed.

More recently, in 2020, the provincial government ordered a comprehensive review of the ILO program—a direct result of ARA’s advocacy.

As a result, the ARA encourages non-members to consider joining the association to support ongoing advocacy efforts.
