Project Overview

The City of Lloydminster undertook a comprehensive public transportation needs assessment and feasibility study to better understand how transit could most effectively serve local travel needs. The study identified the type of service that could be offered including its frequency, operating model and economic impact.

Currently, Lloydminster does not have a public transportation system but does have some foundational transportation services that support seniors and differently abled populations: the Seniors Taxi Program and the Border City Connects. These programs provide the initial building blocks for community transportation.

Supported by transportation specialists Watt Consulting Group, the Lloydminster Public Transportation Master Plan involved outreach to residents, businesses, stakeholders and existing transportation service providers to determine how transit services could be delivered in a cost-effective and sustainable way.

Project Objectives

The overall objectives of the Lloydminster Public Transportation Master Plan were to:

  • Understand the transportation needs and opportunities for residents, major employers and stakeholders of the City.

  • Determine how connections to key local destinations can be delivered, coordinated and optimized, including potential partnerships with existing transportation providers.

  • Develop and deliver a final Public Transportation Master Plan that describes recommended service types and levels, projected operating and capital costs, operating and governance models, and potential funding sources and partnerships to assist decision makers in moving forward on improved mobility where feasible.

Get Involved

The project team has collected information on transportation needs and opportunities through interviews with key community stakeholders, existing transportation providers, health, social service, employment and education groups within the City of Lloydminster. The data collected thus far has been used to assess the potential feasibility of introducing a service and assess travel patterns with Lloydminster as well as inform potential transportation service options for the residents of Lloydminster.

A second round of engagement launched mid-October 2023 which consisted of a three-week survey period which was available on online and paper formats. Accompanying the online and paper surveys, the project team hosted open house sessions along with targeted stakeholder meetings.

Ideas and outcomes from this outreach, including the online and paper surveys as well as the open houses and targeted stakeholder engagement sessions have been summarized and used to determine the feasibility of introducing public transportation in Lloydminster and have recommended potential options for service. These outcomes have been utilized in developing the draft Public Transportation Master Plan and summarized in the What We Heard Report following the engagement period.
