Acheson Transit Service News

Transit Service is here to stay

Parkland County is pleased to announce that Council has approved Transit Service to be permanant core-service. This decision cements the County as a regional transit partner in both the Tri-Municipal and Edmonton Metropolitan regions. 

To support existing businesses and help to attract new businesses to Acheson, the Public Transportation Utility Fee ( billed annually to Acheson property owners) has been reduced 50% with the additional funding being provided from the Parkland County Business Attraction Fund.

New Route

Starting on September 4, 2018, Route 562 will provide a connection from Spruce Grove to Acheson. 

Acheson Shuttle Information

Parkland County provides a shuttle service between bus stops and the businesses in Acheson zones 1-5. This service runs Monday to Friday (excluding statutory holidays). It's as easy as boarding the shuttle bus and letting the driver know which locations you are traveling to. In the afternoon you must book your shuttle trip by:

  • Using the TransLoc app, or
  • Calling Southland Transportation at 780-455-8222

Be sure to identify the bus route and your departure time. 

Fare

The Shuttle transfer is included in the transit fare.

Cancellation

Please cancel your booking if the ride is not required before 3 p.m. on the day of travel.
