Regional Transit Services

In a step towards enhancing regional transit services, municipalities in the Edmonton Metro Region, including the Town of Stony Plain, signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on December 21, 2023. The collaborative framework outlines principles such as mutual respect, sole control over assets and workforce, and a commitment to tailored solutions. Regular meetings between CAOs and local transit leaders will further foster communication and efficiency.
