Whistler Transit Operations and Maintenance Facility was built to accommodate an expansion in the level of service, resulting in a growth of the transit fleet. The building was opened in late 2009,[4] prior to the 2010 Winter Olympics.
Omicron Architecture Engineering Construction acted both as design-builder and consultant for the 25,000-square-foot (2,300 m2) facility, which includes maintenance and administration buildings, refuelling stations and covered parking for up to 50 buses.[5]
The project won the Canadian Design-Build Institute's 2010 first place award in the industrial category.[6]
Whistler Transit operates several local routes in Whistler[7], commuter connections from Squamish[8] and Pemberton[9] and a local route in Pemberton[10]

Previous branding of transit in Whistler |
|
| Defunct | 2009 |
Transit in Whistler previously operated under a unique branding, whereas most other systems used a standard BC Transit style. With the coming of the Winter Olympics in 2010 and the upgrade of their fleet, a coordinated look was adopted.
