Background:

Each year, Edmonton Transit Service (ETS) publishes an Annual Service Plan to outline planned service changes, major projects and report on performance. Service plans are developed considering the Transit Service Policy and service standards, resource availability, as well as equity considerations and rider feedback.

 

The 2024 Annual Service Plan builds on the network changes made in the redesigned bus network and addresses growing ridership demand in new and mature areas. The plan also reflects an increase in 70,000 annual bus service hours, approved by Council during the Fall 2023 Supplementary Budget Adjustment.

 

Service changes associated with the additional 70,000 bus service hours include the introduction of a new route; service enhancements to address overloads; increased service levels to support growing communities; o peak service enhancement to provide more options for people who rely on transit the most; enhanced service on several routes that primarily service youth and schools; and improved schedule adherence.

 

The 2024 Annual Service Plan, included as Attachment 1, continues to build on the network changes made in the redesigned bus network and addresses growing ridership demand in new and mature areas. The plan includes the additional 70,000 bus service hours Council approved in the Fall 2023 Supplementary Operating Budget Adjustment. In total, there is a gap of 260,000 service hours between bus service hours and meeting ETS service standards; 70,000 hours addresses 27 per cent of the service hour gap in the network. In 2025, an additional 50,000 service hours will be added following receipt of 20 growth buses, representing an additional 19 per cent of the service hour gap in the network. These changes will be outlined in the 2025 Annual Service Plan and have not been through detailed service planning.
