Transit is important, allowing people who are unable to drive and people who cannot afford vehicles a way to get around. Fewer vehicles on the road eases congestion, saves infrastructure costs, and is good for the environment. Effective transit can also encourage development by allowing municipal governments to reduce parking standards. It is important for any modern city to have a robust and well-organized transit network.The system in Grande Prairie is outdated and deliver sub par service. Today, Council will be discussing whether to adopt a new Transit Master Plan to update and upgrade our system.
