Take Action!

Edmonton is YOUR city.     In order for elected representatives and administrators to be able to work toward making Edmonton the kind of city you want to live in, your input on important issues like our transportation system needs to be heard and recognized. After all, transportation is about YOUR mobility; YOUR community; YOUR street; YOUR family, friends, children and grandchildren; YOUR ability to do business; YOUR quality of life. It's even about YOUR health costs and the air YOU breathe.

Better public transit has the ability to improve all of these things. But to become a reality, it needs YOUR voice. Let it be heard!

Speak up - talk to friends, neighbors, colleagues about the advantages of investing in better transit.

Share your ideas with groups such as community leagues and organizations, business and professional associations.

Call your City Councillor or email the Mayor.

Write a letter to the Editor of the Edmonton Journal, the Edmonton Sun or The Examiner.

Write the Department of Transportation and Streets and send a copy to your Councillor.

Call the Citizens Action Centre.

Speak to City Council when the opportunity arises, such as at Budget Time or when other transit issues arise. Contact the City Clerk's Office office to find out how.

At election time, question candidates for City Council to find out their views on public transit. Most importantly, be sure you take the time to get out and vote.

Become active in advocacy groups that voice support for quality public transit like Citizens for Better Transit or some of the other local groups on our LINKS page.

Please note that Citizens for Better Transit is an independent citizens advocacy group not affiliated with Edmonton Transit System or other service providers. Got a concern or commendation relating to ETS services? Please contact ETS Concerns and Commendations.
