The City of Grande Prairie is introducing newly redesigned transit routes and schedules starting August 6 to enhance connectivity and provide improved service within the City.
A new Rider's Guide is available now on the Routes and Schedules page at cityofgp.com/transit.
The new system features three types of service delivery:
The City of Grande Prairie is pleased to now introduce online booking for Grande Prairie Accessible Transit (GPAT) riders.
The new booking option provides greater convenience and flexibility for riders to book their trips.
The City of Grande Prairie is offering complimentary shuttle service to and from the Grande Prairie Stompede grounds May 27-29.
The shuttle service is scheduled to leave from the west side transit stop at the Town Centre Mall to the Stompede grounds at Evergreen Park on the top of the hour. Return trips leave from Evergreen Park to the Town Centre on the half hour.
Hours of operation of the shuttle are as follows:
Phase one of construction to create a new accessible heated transit shelter in the west parking lot at the Eastlink Centre has commenced.
The two-step build starts with the transit shelter construction, which is expected to be completed by the end of March. Once the shelter is complete, crews will begin setting the shelter up for heat, which will take more time as it requires upgrading the electrical infrastructure.
Registered Grande Prairie Accessible Transit (GPAT) customers have the opportunity to receive a free round-trip, museum entry and a guided tour to the Philip J. Currie Dinosaur Museum.
These events are taking place every Saturday and Sunday from March 12 to April 3. Registered GPAT clients can sign up with their bus driver or by calling dispatch at 780-830-7433.
Starting Thursday, January 27 Transit route 4 is experiencing delays due to unexpected Aquatera work on 97 Avenue and 108 Street.
The following stops along route 4 are temporarily closed:
A temporary bus stop has been added at the corner of 106A Street and West Side Drive to help passengers navigate the closures. Bus stop 460 is also still available for passengers to use.
Starting Saturday December 4, two new temporary transit routes are being implemented to provide service to the new Grande Prairie Regional Hospital and the Activity and Reception Centre.
Route 11 provides service to Grande Prairie Regional College, the new Grande Prairie Regional Hospital, Prairie Mall, southbound along 100th Street and the Towne Centre Mall.
Route 12 provides service to the new Activity and Reception Centre (opening in the new year), Cobblestone/Crystal Heights, Prairie Mall, QE II Hospital and the Towne Centre Mall.
