Grande Prairie hosts Transit Discovery Day sessions Sept. 16 and 18
The City of Grande Prairie is offering free transit tours aimed at residents unfamiliar with the bus system. Sessions require pre-registration through the city's website.
The City of Grande Prairie is hosting Transit Discovery Day sessions this week to help residents learn how to use the local transit system. The sessions run Wednesday, Sept. 16 and Friday, Sept. 18, and are designed for people who are new to transit or want to feel more comfortable using it.
Each free session begins at the Grande Prairie Public Library and includes a Transit 101 overview covering fares, passes, transfers and trip planning. City officials will also explain accessibility features, how to request stops, and how to navigate the Town Centre Mall Transit Hub. Light snacks, beverages and door prizes will be provided.
Mayor Jackie Clayton said being able to get around the community independently helps residents access services, get to work or school, and take part in community life. She added that the Transit Discovery Tour aims to give residents the knowledge and confidence to make those connections and feel more at home in Grande Prairie.
Pre-registration for the sessions is required and available through the City of Grande Prairie's website.
