Lloydminster citizens are invited to provide input on the community’s public transportation needs and priorities as the City undergoes the second phase of its Public Transportation Master Plan assessment, which started Wednesday.
City Administration, in consultation with WATT Consulting Group, is undertaking a comprehensive public transportation needs assessment and feasibility study to help understand how transit could serve local travel needs most effectively.
The study includes identifying the type of service that could be offered and its frequency, the operating model and the economic impacts.
Building on the information received during Phase 1 (October-November 2022), the feedback gathered will continue to develop the Public Transportation Master Plan.
There are two ways to provide input:
– Online at YourVoiceLloyd.ca/PTM. The online survey is available until 11:59 p.m. on Nov. 8.
– Via printed copies of the survey, available at:
– City Hall (4420 50 Ave.)
– Operations Centre (6623 52 Street)
– Lloydminster Public Library, LloydMall (5211 44 Street)
– Servus Sports Centre (5202 12 Street)
– or by request (780-875-6184 Ext. 2322)
– All paper copies must be submitted by 11:59 p.m. on Nov. 8. Please note facilities may close before noon.
Lloydminster does not have a public transportation system but does have foundational transportation services supporting seniors and people with disabilities within the community: the Seniors Taxi Program and Border City Connects.
These programs provide the initial building blocks for transportation options.
Suggestions for a public transportation network must help support the community’s future economic development and resilience and ensure that it is financially viable and prudent for Lloydminster’s ratepayers.
For this reason, it is important to have the community involved in the planning process.
The feedback collected through the survey will help inform the recommendations of the City of Lloydminster’s Public Transportation Master Plan.
A summary of the findings will be available in a future What We Heard report.
