Help Shape Calgary's Future Transit Network
Official title: Calgary's Transit Projects
Calgary is planning major transit expansions over the next 30 years. This includes new Bus Rapid Transit lines, Light Rail extensions, and an airport connection. Several projects are open for public input right now, while others are still in early planning stages.
Why This Matters
Stuck in traffic on Deerfoot? These projects could give you faster alternatives. New BRT and LRT lines mean quicker commutes for thousands of Calgarians. If you live in growing communities like Seton, Silverado, or the northeast, this directly affects how you'll get around.
What Could Change
New rapid transit corridors could connect underserved areas like 52nd Street East and 144th Avenue North. The Red Line LRT may extend south to communities like Silverado and Legacy. A rail connection to the airport is being studied. These projects would reshape how Calgarians commute for decades.
Key Issues
- Where should new Bus Rapid Transit lines be built first?
- How should the Red Line LRT be extended to southern communities?
- What route should the MAX Purple extension take to East Hills and Chestermere?
- How should transit connect to Calgary's airport?
