Transit

Leduc Transit is an inter-municipal transit system that serves Leduc County and the City of Leduc. It also connects to the Edmonton International Airport and Century Park LRT station in south Edmonton. This is a cost-effective way to travel within the region while reducing traffic congestion.

ABOUT THE PROJECT

Leduc County is undertaking a comprehensive transit needs assessment and feasibility study to better understand how transit could most effectively serve local and regional travel needs. The study will include identifying the type of service that could be offered and its frequency, operating model, and economic impact.

Existing transportation needs within the County are very diverse. They include commuters travelling regionally to major employers in Nisku Business Park and at Edmonton International Airport, as well as residents connecting to services, shopping and healthcare in the cities of Leduc and Edmonton from New Sarepta, rural areas of the County, and the municipalities of Calmar, Thorsby, and Warburg.

While the County’s transit needs have up until now been served through Leduc Transit, that arrangement will not be viable in the future with implementation of the Edmonton Metropolitan Transit Service Commission.

Supported by transportation specialists Watt Consulting Group, the County's Transit Feasibility Study will involve outreach to residents, businesses, stakeholders, and existing transportation providers to determine how transit services could best be delivered in the future to continue to serve local and regional needs in a cost-effective and sustainable way.

The overall objectives of the Leduc County Transit Feasibility Study are to:

• Understand the transportation needs and opportunities for residents, major employers and stakeholders of the County and its adjacent areas including Nisku Business Park, New Sarepta, City of Leduc, Edmonton International Airport, the towns of Calmar and Thorsby and the Village of Warburg.

• Determine how connections to key local and regional destinations can be delivered, coordinated and optimized as effectively as possible, including potential partnerships with existing transportation providers.

• Develop and deliver a final feasibility study and implementation plan that describes recommended service types and levels, projected operating and capital costs, operating and governance models, and potential funding sources and partnerships to assist decision makers in moving forward on improved mobility where feasible.
