Latest update

At the June 9, 2020 Council meeting, Council declined the invitation to join the Regional Transit Services Commission at this time and requested becoming an Advising Stakeholder of the Regional Transit Services Commission.

Background

In September 2017, City of Edmonton and City of St. Albert Councils signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to begin taking steps to develop a Regional Transit Services Commission. The other 11 Edmonton Metropolitan Region communities joined in October 2018.

To begin this work, the Government of Alberta awarded the City of Edmonton and City of St. Albert a $3.7 million Community Partnership Grant, as the initial signatories, to work with the region to analyze the feasibility of a potential Transit Commission.

The following 13 municipalities that signed the MOU were represented on the Regional Transit Services Commission Transition Team: Beaumont, Devon, Edmonton, Fort Saskatchewan, Leduc, Leduc County, Morinville, Parkland County, St. Albert, Spruce Grove, Strathcona County, Stony Plain, and Sturgeon County.

The RTSC Transition Team met monthly through 2019, working with Ernst & Young (EY) to complete their final report. The Final Report was publicly unveiled on January 22, 2020 along with all other municipalities in the region.

Parkland County Council voted yes at the February 25, 2020 Council meeting to apply to the Provincial Government to set up a Regional Transit Service Commission.

An addendum report was developed following Strathcona County, Sturgeon County and Leduc County formally declining to join the RTSC.
