Help Shape Alberta's Public Transportation Future

Official title: Provincial public transportation strategy

Closed Policy & Studies Environment & Climate Transportation
Alberta asked residents how to improve public transit across the province. The goal was to connect people in both rural and urban communities to work, services, and recreation. This input will shape a provincial transit strategy and future funding decisions.

Why This Matters

Take the bus to work? Live in a rural area with no transit options? This strategy could determine whether you get better service or keep driving. It also ties into Alberta's climate goals by reducing car emissions.

What Could Change

Alberta may create new funding programs for municipal transit and rural bus services. A provincial framework could set standards for transit across the province. This also supports the Climate Leadership Plan's goal of cutting greenhouse gas emissions.

Key Issues

  • What are the transportation needs of rural versus urban Albertans?
  • How should the province fund municipal transit and rural bus services?
  • How can public transit help meet Alberta's climate goals?

What Happened
