Happy Email Your Councillor Day everybody!
On the last Monday of every month, we are challenging everyone to reach out to their city councillor and tell them what you want Edmonton to be.
This is a great way to bake civic involvement into your schedule (cc [email protected])

We want to make sure that transit riders, the people in our city doing the most to reduce traffic, aren't the ones getting stuck in it.
Getting this project funded during this year's budget discussions is a major priority, and we need to all work together to get it across the finish line

Did you know this system also works for LRT stations? We compiled the station IDs for every LRT station so you can always know when the next train is coming.

Edmonton's budget for next year just got a little more transit friendly
While not everything we wanted got voted in, Edmonton's transit system is setup to better meet growth pressures, modernize its equipment and operations, and maintain a comfortable and clean environment

You've seen a few posts from us about public transit projects and initiatives that COULD be funded in next week's city budget adjustment.
Here are a complete list of what we want to see council approve (and in some cases oppose) when they go to propose and vote on amendments next week

We oppose the proposal to increase these transit fares, however we do support the addition of multi-day passes including airport fares for tourists.

While visitors should be paying more to access our services since they don't pay property taxes, but many of the people using the airport bus are working service jobs in and around the airport, and should not have to pay over and beyond what somebody working anywhere else would pay

Not everything in the Fall Budget Adjustment is good for transit riders unfortunately
Administration is proposing increasing the fare for the 747 to the airport to $6.00, with a monthly fare cap increase from $90.00 to $108.00. This could mean an addition $216.00 per year!
