LRT Station Elevators and Escalators

There are 30 elevators and 38 escalators located at Edmonton LRT stations. 

If you use a major mobility device (wheelchairs, scooters, walkers, etc.) or stroller, or if you are accompanied by a guide or service dog, please use the elevator. Each elevator is equipped with a two-way intercom or phone. Instructions on use are available in raised print and Braille should you require assistance while you are in the elevator.

Escalators are located in several LRT stations, as a convenience, to make it easier to access the stations. Generally, the escalators are set to operate in the “up” direction from the platform and concourse areas to the station exit, or concourse areas to the platform. 

Elevator Operating Status

Elevators and escalators are taken out of service for short periods of time to perform routine maintenance and minor repairs.  For planned service interruptions, signs indicating the closure will be posted at the affected elevator/escalator. Signage will include information on alternate routing to or from the LRT system.

To see if an elevator/escalator is currently undergoing maintenance/repairs, please visit our Elevator/Escalator Maintenance page.

Downtown Pedway System

The downtown area in Edmonton has an extensive pedway system to enable pedestrians to move throughout the area in a weather protected environment. As the pedway network goes through public and private buildings/walkways, many of these entrances and elevators are not under the authority of Edmonton Transit. The operating condition and hours for these entrances and elevators are also out of ETS’ control and may not match ETS’ operating hours.
