Saskatoon Transit fixed-route fleet renewal strategy and funding plan
| City Council approved Saskatoon Transit’s $115.4 million revised 2023-2031 fleet renewal strategy for fixed-route buses to accelerate the purchase of new buses to better position the City for meeting service levels and current demands. The strategy was revised to account for the 30 percent cost increase for a new bus since the November 2022 funding strategy was approved and the lead time can be up to 18 months for delivery. The strategy to replace and upgrade Saskatoon Transit's fleet will be partially funded by the Government of Canada through the Public Infrastructure Stream ($24 million) and the City of Saskatoon budget allocation of $36 million. Another $6.5 million was allocated from the Government of Canada One Time Public Transit Fund intended to offset the operating shortfalls from the COVID-19 pandemic. |
