We are pleased to welcome back riders to regular bus service starting August 30. We thank ETS customers for their patience and understanding over the past 5 months as we made adjustments in response to the pandemic to help keep Edmontonians safe.
Wear non-medical masks or face coverings when using public transit, or in other locations where physical distancing is not possible.
Please make sure you dispose of your used disposable masks and/or gloves into a waste bin. If one is not available, store your used materials in a plastic bag until they can be disposed of properly.
DATS is a door-to-door public transportation service for Edmontonians who cannot use regular transit for some or all of their travel needs, due to a physical or cognitive impairment.
DATS is a shared-ride public transportation service operating within the City of Edmonton corporate limits. Wheelchair lift equipped vehicles, minivans, accessible minivans, taxis and vans are used to provide DATS service. Vehicles used are clearly identified as "DATS" vehicles.
DATS clients must apply, meet eligibility requirements and be registered before using DATS.
DATS is administered and scheduled by the DATS section of ETS (Edmonton Transit Service). The DATS budget is supported primarily from the City of Edmonton tax levy. Cost of the service is partially offset with fares collected from the DATS users. Trips are scheduled to make maximum use of this shared ride service while staying within budget.
Vision: To provide industry leading and sustainable specialized transportation solutions that connect people, resources, and communities.
Mission: To provide customer focused, safe, and reliable door-to-door shared ride services for those who are unable to use conventional transit.
Values: Safety, Respect, Customer Service, Compassion, Teamwork
