Access Transit served their first customer in 2004, and is currently a part of the family of services offered by Saskatoon Transit. Access Transit serves those who are unable to use conventional transit with safety and dignity.

The public is invited to celebrate National AccessAbility Week and Access Transit’s 15th anniversary on Thursday, May 30, 2019 (10:00.a.m. to 2:00 p.m.). Burgers, hotdogs, coffee and games will be part of the event.

Saskatoon Transit will take this opportunity to further break down barriers, promote inclusion while we celebrate Access Transit and their 15 year history in Saskatoon. Both an Access and conventional bus will be on-site to tour and Transit staff will be available to answer questions regarding the family of services provided.

A lot of work is being done to ensure Transit is accessible to all ages and abilities and this celebration is a great opportunity to showcase just that.

Last chance! Student Art submissions accepted until May 30

Saskatoon Transit’s 2nd Annual Student Art Contest closes Thursday, May 30. Grade three and seven students can submit artwork representing Active Transportation to their teachers by the end of the school day. Teachers must email Saskatoon Transit (transit.services@Saskatoon.ca) by 5:00 p.m to let us know you have a pick-up. 

Two winners will be chosen, one from each grade to have their art displayed on City transit buses throughout the summer.

Grades three and seven were chosen by the school boards to participate in the contest because they both discuss public transportation as part of their curriculum.

Transit is often an overlooked part of Active Transportation, extending all forms of human-powered transportation such as walking, jogging, cycling, skateboarding etc. Watch for the winners and art to be revealed at the end of June.

The City of Saskatoon is hosting Bike to Work Day YXE on Wednesday, May 15, 2019: an initiative that encourages citizens to choose active transportation and to celebrate those who already use their bicycles to get to and from work and other commitments.

Anyone participating in Bike to Work Day YXE should note the following tips and information:

  • Between 7:00 and 9:00 a.m., participating businesses and organizations will have Commuter Stations set up. Anyone on a bicycle is invited to stop for coffee, giveaways, or a chance to win prizes! When safe to do so, snap a photo and upload it to social media using the hashtag #BiketoWorkYXE to show us how your commute is going!
  • If you live too far from work to bike the entire way, consider taking Saskatoon Transit part of the way. Plan your trip using the Transit app or Google Transit on your desktop. All buses are equipped with front bike racks that are free and easy to use. The bike racks also accommodate fat tires.

Learn more about Bike to Work Day YXE and find resources on cycling in the city at Saskatoon.ca/biketoworkyxe.
