Congratulations Leduc Transit! Congratulations Leduc Transit! Crestline Confidential Information Congratulations to Crestline’s Spotlight on Success Recipient We’re honoring and shining the Crestline spotlight on Leduc Transit who provides safe, reliable and comfortable transportation to the citizens of the City of Leduc and Leduc County, Alberta! The Leduc region is located directly south of the City of Edmonton, and is home to more than 65,000 citizens. It’s a vibrant community growing at a rapid pace, with a 35% growth rate from 2006 to 2014. Leduc Transit is celebrating one year in service next month! In September 2014, Leduc County and the City of Leduc expanded the existing single-route service to form Leduc Transit, a multi-route local and commuter transit service which connects individuals to community attractions and major employment hubs in the region. With financial assistance obtained through Alberta Transportation’s Green Transit Incentives Program (GreenTRIP) as well as financial commitments from both Leduc County and the City of Leduc, the two municipalities were able to expand the existing transit service to include additional routes, three park-and-ride locations and a brand new garage to house the new fleet of four New Flyer Xcelsiors and five Arboc Spirit of Mobility buses. Crestline Confidential Information “It’s a proud and humbling moment when you realize you can now provide an alternative means of transportation for residents travelling to work, school and important life events,” says Kevin Wenzel, Manager of Public Transportation for the City of Leduc. “We also provide service for Edmonton residents who commute to the major employment hubs in Leduc and Nisku.” With one commuter route, three local routes and 112 bus stop locations connecting Leduc, Nisku, the Edmonton International Airport and Edmonton, it’s no wonder this group is passionate about its transit system. Just one example of how Leduc Transit enhances the lives of local citizens is by providing students an affordable means of transportation to and from post-secondary institutions. Students with a U-Pass pay only $1 each way for use of Leduc Transit. “We are proud of the collaboration between Leduc County and the City of Leduc to bring the region a superior-quality transit service,” says Rick Thomas, General Manager of Community Services with Leduc County. “Our ridership continues to increase and we look forward to the continued benefits this service provides to our residents and the environment.” Leduc Transit is also responsible for the operation of Leduc Assisted Transportation Service (LATS), which has actively served the community since 2007. LATS provides transportation for seniors and individuals with physical and/or cognitive disabilities, who require transportation to programs, employment opportunities, medical appointments and other social outings. We find it inspiring to know that LATS is continually thinking of ways to engage its community with the intention of enhancing riders’ lives and wellbeing. A small example of this effort is that each December, LATS offers free transportation in exchange for a donation to the local food bank. Freedom. Choice. Dignity. That’s Leduc Transit to us. Crestline Confidential Information Leduc Transit is operated from Leduc, Alberta, Canada. Learn more about Leduc Transit by visiting its website www.LeducTransit.ca, or following them on Twitter (@CityofLeduc or @LeducCounty) or Facebook (City of Leduc or Leduc County).

Overview The Metro Edmonton Region is growing rapidly, and with the growth comes the need to proactively manage how regional services are delivered. Transportation is one of the most critical services requiring regional coordination. Travel does not respect jurisdictional boundaries. To minimize the negative impacts of growth – sprawl, congestion, emissions and quality of life – and set the Metro Region up to be livable, efficient and globally competitive, requires regional integration of transportation.

  • Passenger Risk Mitigation Strategy (PRMS) for Leduc Transit
    Passenger Risk Mitigation Strategy (PRMS) for Leduc Transit Introduction In order to provide a regional public transit service, the transit service providers must apply for and be granted an Operating Authority Certificate from Alberta Transportation. The application must include a Passenger Risk Mitigation Strategy. The objective of the Passenger Risk Mitigation Strategy is to ensure compliance to existing standards and consistency with legislative and operational requirements, and demonstrate that the regional public transit provider has considered passenger safety issues and taken appropriate steps to mitigate the risks. The regional public transit service provider will make its Passenger Risk Mitigation Strategy available to its ridership, drivers and general public for review. The City of Leduc / Leduc County has awarded the contract to operate Leduc Transit to PWTransit Canada Ltd, a division of Calgary-based Pacific Western Transportation Ltd. PWTransit’s Training Program Overview PWTransit Canada Ltd. provides a comprehensive ten (10) day training program for new operators, designed to equip staff with knowledge to make decisions to safely operate Leduc Transit System vehicle.

However, sometimes health conditions and other circumstances limit mobility. When that happens, it is necessary to find alternative ways of accessing services that are important to an individual’s overall independence and well-being. To assist in this effort, we have put together a listing of organizations and businesses that provide essential services and transportation in Edmonton and surrounding area.

    Staff Report #1 April 25, 2018 To All Commissioners Re: Industrial Service Strategy Update Recommendation That the Commission ENDORSE the following service delivery models as options for discussion at the May 15, 2018 meeting with Industrial Service stakeholders: • Fixed Route • Trippers • Branch Route • Employment/Industrial Shuttle • On-Demand Service • Dynamic Service Delivery Options including: o First Mile / Last Mile o Micro Transit o Flex Routes o Specialized Integration o Guaranteed Ride Home o Trip Planning Integration Background At the January 25, 2017 meeting, the Commission requested a review and update of the data used to inform the Industrial Service Strategy, including an assessment of the areas where Londoners currently are unable to access employment opportunities in industrial areas via regular public transit due to gaps in either service coverage or time of day. Further, the request was to involve the London Economic Development Corporation as well as the London Chamber of Commerce in the review, noting opportunities for new delivery models may be identified, including but not limited to partnering with businesses in the area to cost-share the service delivery. The focus of the industrial service review are lands zoned industrial, which currently have transit service provided during limited times of the day or are without nearby transit service. The areas identified are: the Airport Industrial area, Sovereign Road, Veteran’s Memorial Parkway (VMP/401), Wilton Grove and Exeter/White Oaks Road. Transit services to modern industrial areas are a complex issue influenced by a number of challenges, many of which are competing in nature. The complexities and challenges associated with providing transit service to industrial areas are not limited or unique to London.
