We will keep you updated on how Council moves forward next week

✅ Maintaining cleaning program funding

✅ Improving DATS service

✅ Off-peak safety attendants

✅ Multi-day airport passes

❌ Increases in the airport fare and fare cap

✅ More buses to help transition on-demand zones to conventional service

✅ Projects proposed under the Canada Public Transit Fund approved

Frequencies were increased last spring making half hour service last longer throughout the day

However Edmonton saw a fare increase last fall already, and this would increase the fare cap $6.00 above the regular cap, hurting those who come to the airport daily the most

We oppose the proposal to increase these transit fares, however we do support the addition of multi-day passes including airport fares for tourists.

Let's keep transit affordable

While visitors should be paying more to access our services since they don't pay property taxes, but many of the people using the airport bus are working service jobs in and around the airport, and should not have to pay over and beyond what somebody working anywhere else would pay

There is a BRT consultation session today at 6:30pm at the Alberta Avenue Community league. Show up and tell the planners your thoughts.

✅Make the Enhanced Cleaning Program permanent to keep our system clean

Now is the time to make sure that this project adequately prioritizes transit riders, with dedicated lanes and high-quality stations.

If you want to tell the city that BRT is important to you, let them know using this survey: cityofedmonton.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

Our engagement (yes we know there aren’t 2 B1s)

These projects, if funded, would contribute to modernizing our transit system, and making sure that transit in Edmonton can keep up with population and ridership growth. These are smart projects, that should all see funding in the upcoming fall budget adjustment.
