ETS- Infrastructure
This page will be coving all of the infrastructure that supports ETS operations.
Bus Stops- Signage and Shelters
A note on the use of "Ride Guide". This was the term Edmonton Transit used in the late 1980's through 1990's as the name for their full system map and transit guide. In the earlier years it was just known as Guide XX, with the XX representing the last two digits of the year (ie Guide 82). For simplicities sake, regardless of year, we'll be referring to all of them as "Ride Guides".
PTIF Funding- On the LRT Station and Transit Centre pages you
will see references to PTIF and GreenTrip funding. The Federal Public Transit
Infrastructure Fund in particular helped rebuilt a lot of transit centre
infrastructure, as well as some LRT station projects, during the 2017-2019
timeframe.
PTIF funding
All of the projects that made use of the PTIF money came to a total of $297.3
million, with funding sources broken down as:
Federal PTIF: $145.3 million
Provincial Grants: $72.7 million
City Funding: $79.3 million
The share was about 50% PTIF and 25% each Provincial and Municipal. Some
portions of the overall costs were not covered by PTIF, hence the different
between the Provincial and City amounts as the City also was funding the
ineligible costs.
As you can see, Edmonton received a substantial amount of funding to help with
maintaining a state of good repair which might not have been possible otherwise.
