Transit Strategy - What We Did and Heard

The public engagement approach at the City of Edmonton involves equal respect between Council’s long term strategic direction, the technical expertise of City administration and the local knowledge of Edmontonians and stakeholder groups.

Public engagement to develop the Transit Strategy was completed in 2016. Another phase of public engagement will begin in 2018 in order to discuss the implementation of the new bus network.
