Local Transit is now On-Demand!

Parkland Transit has transitioned to a local regional on-demand system. In a partnership with the Town of Stony Plain and City of Spruce Grove, the system acts as one large zone servicing Parkland Village, Acheson, Stony Plain, and Spruce Grove. The on-demand service applies to local transit only and does not apply to the Edmonton commuter route from Spruce Grove.

With over 400 pick-up/drop-off locations in the area, travelling around the Tri-Municipal Region has never been easier! Scroll down to view a map of On-Demand Stop Locations.

There are two types of on-demand pick-up/drop-off locations:

  • Marked stops have a transit bus-stop sign.
  • Unmarked stops are "virtual" – meaning they don't have a bus-stop sign.
