Context and Background Review The City of Chestermere and the City of Calgary collaboratively initiated a Transit Feasibility Study to enhance the connectivity between Chestermere and Calgary, and to support the work of the Chestermere-Calgary Intermunicipal Transit Committee (IMTC). 1.1 Purpose With a population of over 20,000, Chestermere is growing at a significant rate of 5.6% annually. Based on the 2017 Chestermere Municipal Census, the working-age population, aged 15-64 (including students attending university), constitutes about 70% of the total population. The majority of the population of Chestermere is within this age group and is composed of young families aged between 35 and 44. Seniors (65+) represent only about 7.1% of the total population. According to Statistics Canada, 83% of the working-age population of Chestermere commutes to work in a different City and 72% commute to Calgary specifically, yet the City of Chestermere boundary is 3km away from the nearest Calgary Transit service at East Hills1. About 94% of employed residents commute to work with a car, truck or van as either a driver or passenger. The lack of transit access for the large amount of commuters, post-secondary students and others that move daily between municipalities indicates a gap that needs to be filled with an efficient transportation system. Transit service that serves commuter and post- secondary traffic between Calgary and Chestermere can

With its humble beginnings as a lumber town almost 140 years ago, Clarence-Rockland has matured into a beautiful city of a little over 20,000 people. Situated just 32 kilometers east of Parliament Hill and about 170 kilometers west of Montreal, the area offers both the quiet of the countryside and the urban offerings of a big city. Along with a healthy distribution of nature's splendor there's also plenty of things to keep urbanites busy. We are a fully bilingual community with a full range of churches, schools and sports facilities which offer endless choices for those who have grown accustomed to essential amenities.

  • Shared Ride Service Models
    TT2017-0185 ATTACHMENT 3 Shared Ride Service Models Calgary Transit is continuously monitoring the evolution of technology and service paradigms in order to efficiently and effectively deliver safe and accessible public transit. The desire for high- frequency public transit continues to grow across the city, while limited operating budgets and competing demands for resources constrain our ability to address that growth. Calgary Transit has evolved service delivery models in the past where they have demonstrated value for our customers and our business (e.g. Community Shuttle service for lower ridership areas and off- peak periods). The emergence of ridesharing has prompted questions regarding efficient and effective service delivery. This brief overview seeks to answer the questions: what, where and when is the best fit for shared-ride service models, and how can they complement fixed-route transit service? Background on the Emergence of Ridesharing Ridesharing services that divert off of fixed routes have historically been part of the toolbox of public transportation service delivery. In Calgary, Dial-a-bus service was once used as a complement to fixed-route transit service in low-density communities (and still is in off-peak periods in some other cities). Calgary Transit Access currently uses ridesharing as a means of efficiently delivering accessible transportation for people with disabilities who are unable to access other Calgary Transit services. Major advances in on-demand technology through mobile platforms have facilitated the rapid growth of ridesharing Transportation Network Companies (TNCs) such as uberPOOL, Bridj, and RideCo. These services match users based on their trip origins and destinations, and create an on-demand and dynamically-scheduled route that transports multiple users in one vehicle.

  • North Calgary Regional Transportation Study (NCRTS)
    Executive Summary In 2016, the Deputy Minister of Alberta Transportation (AT) requested that The City of Calgary, City of Airdrie and Rocky View County meet, discus and articulate transportation network priorities in the north Calgary region. By developing a consistent set of network priorities that reflect planned land use and growth, the resulting study was intended to serve as an example of how infrastructure priorities could be determined for the region as a whole over time, and to help AT identify funding priorities in its next three-year capital planning cycle, consistent with its own long-term provincial network plans. In response to this request, the three municipalities undertook a number of steps through 2016 and 2017 to jointly secure grant funding and develop terms of reference for a North Calgary Regional Transportation Study (NCRTS). It was determined that significant additional value could be gained by taking a more integrated approach for the north Calgary region as a whole, hence the City of Chestermere and Town of Cochrane were also engaged to participate in the study. Together with AT, the five municipalities collectively formed the North Calgary Regional Committee (NCRC) to cooperatively advance the study. By integrating and reflecting approved land use plans in each of the participating municipalities, the study provides a common baseline for assessment of the regional transportation network that will be needed to support planned growth of more than 650,000 new residents in the north Calgary region over the next 20 years. The Calgary Metropolitan Region Board (CMRB), formed in January 2018, also participated in the study as an observer, and is expected to reference the study as a baseline for preparation of long-term regional servicing plans in the coming years.
