County asking the community for input on transportation priorities

Leduc County is inviting the public to provide input on public transportation needs and priorities at one of three upcoming open houses.

Community members can provide feedback on existing transportation services in Nisku Business Park and the Edmonton International Airport area, and priorities for potential future transit service to connect smaller municipalities and more rural areas within the County.

Three open houses are scheduled for Sept. 27 and 28, 2022 in the following locations:

• New Sarepta (at the Farmers Market in the Agriplex) | Sept. 27, 5 to 7 p.m.
• Nisku (Leduc County Business and Entrepreneur Centre) | Sept. 28, 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
• Calmar (Royal Canadian Legion) | Sept. 28, 4 to 6 p.m.

Those unable to attend the open houses can still provide input via survey until midnight on Oct. 11. Printed surveys are available on Leduc Transit buses, at County Centre, or by request. To take the survey online, visit leduc-county.com/transit. 

The input will be used to inform the County's Transit Feasibility Study, a comprehensive transit 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.

While the County’s transit needs have up until now been served through Leduc Transit and its innovative partnership with the City of Leduc, that arrangement will not be viable in the future due to changes currently being implemented by the Edmonton Metropolitan Transit Services Commission.
